I really appreciate your optimism about switching to a different framework/ etc. and I would have felt the same earlier in my career where I didn't have so many non work commitments, financial and otherwise. But to me now this reads as wishful thinking; switching track is difficult, especially when your existing skill set represents a large chunk of the demand in the marketplace. (And I say this having recently sucessfully made the switch from React to Svelte) No doubt there are individuals with circumstances that make switching tech stack harder due to the demands on their time elsewhere, and I feel for those devs being stuck on a stack they don't enjoy (I was a PHP dev for a decade, I understand their pain). But I also think that those problems are temporary. You might be stuck on something for a few years, but in the grand plan that is your career spending even a couple of hours a week to move to something that you don't hate is worthwhile. It'd be awesome if everyone who dislikes React could spend a month immediately learning Svelte or Solid, or Kotlin or Swift, but that's obviously not possible. All I'm saying is that if you're not doing anything to change your future then you should seriously consider if the problem is as bad as you might say it is.
