I agree, and expanded on it in my reply to Analemma_. Hiring has become too framework specific - if someone has built an application using a component oriented framework, I don't think they'd have much trouble moving between them. I'd even cast a wider net when looking for good candidates while hiring - if I came across a great developer who knew JavaScript well and had also worked on WPF apps in the past...I'd probably be inclined to make them an offer, even if they hadn't worked with React or Angular yet. Maybe it's like Moneyball applied to the developer labor market. There are lots of people who would do a great job, but are undervalued because most hiring is fairly buzzword-oriented at most companies. Frameworks and tools come and go. I think that the real value comes in understanding the underlying concepts and being able to apply them in new situations using new tools.
