I find myself missing React when building a plain HTML/CSS/JS site. I just like the modularity and my fingers have muscle memory for solving certain issues.

- julianlam 4y agoFrom somebody who's been in the industry for a little bit (only 10+ years, which depending on your perspective could be no time at all, or a lifetime!), I'd be wary of becoming too familiar with the "react way" (substitute your framework of choice.) Aeons ago I learned js with Mootools, so much so I thought in Mootools vernacular. Imagine my surprise when Mootools went away seemingly overnight and I couldn't code vanilla js to save my life.
- JimmieMcnulty 4y agoFair! I'm pretty confident in my ability to pick up new tools and tech (I'm probably too far into the "bleeding edge" side of the "how comfortable are you supporting new tech in prod?" scale), so I'm not overly worried about getting left behind. I just recently had to explicitly build a "raw" JS/HTML/CSS app for work, and found myself missing the organization React overlayed on top of JS, is all. Besides, my bread and butter is backend, so I can always throw my hands up and shove the work onto some web dev's plate if I ever do get left behind! :D
