it's not funny dude. You don't quite grasp the situation that's leading me to ask these questions.
Chill out. If you want advice on how to find a job, post a thread asking for help. This thread is asking about javascript frameworks, not how to help you get hired. A lot of people are struggling right now, and you don't have to be a dick about it.
how am I the one being a dick about it? You're the one that's making fun of people trying to improve their situation in life, and I'm the dick?
When I looked for work with front end, everything is asking for framework experience, when I have raw html/js/css experience. So what you're saying isn't helpful. I'm pointing that out and asking for practical advice, you're being a dick for making fun of my situation.
I'm not making fun of anyone. I know how stressful situations like that are, but you need to chill because being an abrasive asshole isn't how you get people to help you.
I wasn't trying to be helpful to you. You are not OP. OP didn't ask "what should I learn to land a job". I never claimed that knowing basic js/css/html was going to help you get a job. Anybody can do that, it's webdev 101. I was pointing out that those basic skills are all you need to write good front-end software, and that most front-end frameworks are over-engineered and unnecessary.
But to answer your question: learn what employers are looking for. Duh. You looked at job postings and found that they were asking for framework experience, so you already have your answer. If you land a web dev job, it's going to be to work on an existing legacy (and often shitty) codebase, not to write new software. The trendy/popular stuff is what's trendy/popular, so learn that to increase your chances.
But most importantly, fix your attitude. It doesn't matter how smart you are if nobody wants to work with you.
