You don't have to use any of the gobs of new JS syntax, libearies, frameworks, techniques, packagers etc that come out on a regular basis. Just keep that in mind when you're reading about them and realize you can decide for yourself what to adopt after careful evaluation. Exception being if you work on a team that has agreed to adopt something new together. If you're of a different opinion and lost the debate you pretty much have two options at that point!
