Here was a typical (not verbatim) exchange when I was a Front-End Architect interviewing candidates for my team back in 2012 or so:
---
Q: Tell me about your experience with JavaScript.
A: I know JavaScript because I've been working in jQuery for a year.
---
Further questions would isolate the fact that they've _only_ used jQuery. It was depressing, really.
I mentor developers to really strive to learn and understand the fundamentals precisely to stop propagating the idea that libraries and frameworks > fundamentals. Problem is, I've already started to witness history repeating itself when interviewing candidates and getting the equivalent answer above--but with "React" in its place.
