Hello Everyone!

For the last couple of weeks, I have a big dilemma. I really don't know, if I should stick with VanillaJS or focus on learning React.

The reason behind this (these are all personal and from my points of view):

VanillaJS

Pros:

• Easier to write and more logical
• Seems more usable for me, for some reason
• Lot of easy/intermediate projects for learning
• More enjoyable to write
• More experience of success

Cons:

• Feels like I will never really use this if I land a job
• Less maintainable
• Not really an up-to-date knowledge

React

Pros:

• Widely used in the industry
• Component based architecture is easier to maintain

Cons:

• Really hard to find REAL beginner projects (feel like a Tic-Tac-Toe game or a To-Do list is not beginner friendly, because you cannot figure it out alone) Therefore the next point:
• Less experience of success
• Hard to understand the basics
• Seems like you MUST use a CSS framework for it (but Tailwind and/or Bootstrap is really not my cup of tea)

Also, the biggest fear of mine, that I will forget the VanillaJS, while I dig into React...yes, this might be the biggest fear in the story for me.

I am really looking forward onto some encouraging on both of the topics.

Thank you in advance for your kind help and assistance.
