I'm not a fan of just learning a new framework, if you have no use for it. The vast time you spent on learning completely new framework is of course very good in overall but if you have no need for the framework it may feel pointless. So my advice is to pick an interesting project which you can build using modern techniques like ember or react. That way you have greater motivation to learn and you get results for the work you have done.
