I would consider the base RapidWeaver product as the base framework. You can definitely build website with it out of the box. RapidWeaver has a vast add-ons system of plugins and themes. The one must have plugin is Stacks from YourHead.
Stacks is an amazing plugin that allows you to build your website like LEGO.
There are a plethora of 3rd party stacks available once you have the plugin. Many free, many paid. I was promoting my Foundation add-on above. It allows you to build you own website from scratch. Instead of using a theme as a starter, you can start with a blank canvas to make your website with.
I know that Freeway users like to use their own code (HTML, JS, CSS). Like I said above, you can definitely do this inside RapidWeaver.
I hope that this helps clarify things.
