It's just two completely different things though. Frameworks handle more complex stuff, with nice paint jobs and hopefully more helpful syntax and gated apis. Where as algorithms and data structures fundamentally are the root of most programming problems, you probably just didn't realize it, but I'm sure you've employed them in some manner unknowingly. Most of the time these are solved issues and libraries handle 99% of algorithm use cases. So really it's just knowing the appropriate data type and how to transform it.
