Full disclosure, I'm a Joomla enthusiast and strictly Joomla developer. That said;
While I agree it's important to work outside of any frameworks/CMS to get an understanding of PHP, I'm really enjoying developing with the Joomla MVC, and especially the Joomla component JDump, which shows a variable dump organized in a neat graphic display for everything from strings to objects. It's been a great pairing for me and has really strengthened my understanding of OO as I write code and can track objects with their methods and properties in my own code as well as in the Joomla framework. Just my two cents, let the flames roar.
