What he's actually talking about is a matter of preference. He almost completely misses the point of using a framework to not reinvent the wheel when you like the way the wheel's invented in this framework.
Some like plain HTML, some perfer HAML, some generate DOM tree, some like to have "components" and "controls" - and they're all equally right in their views. The same holds for SQL vs ORM.
Some frameworks hold TMTOWTDI views, when you could do things in a way you perfer. Other frameworks insist that there's one and only one proper way of doing things (in given framework).

Just use whatever suits your tastes well.
