if it's for work and you need to use xyz js frameworks/libraries then i don't have any advice to give but if you're just making personal projects, i'd recommend sticking with vanilla html, css and js as much as you can, unless you're running into a specific problem which something specific solves. the more you do that, the more you'll actually be able to understand the value proposition of basing a project around whatever the fancy new framework of the week is. realistically, you don't need react, you don't need svelte, you don't need nextjs, and so on. almost nobody does.
front end dev at this point is deep in the "so and so does this so i should do this" territory and there's a hell of a lot of junior level devs shilling all sorts of stupid bullshit which nobody ever needed because they've never had to maintain anything for a long time because they switch jobs every year, leaving a huge pile of convoluted shit in their wake.
rant over, feel free to call me a cranky boomer now lol
