Depends on your mentor and projects.

What I learned over from experience is the manager or the client decides everything.

But given the above choices, choose one with the best support it'll receive in the future.

jQuery is a library like react. But it still used by thousands of developers.

Backbone is an MVC framework like Angular, but the core developers stopped supporting it.

The moral is don't go with viral or trending .

Use something that has a future.

The one with funding. Someone has to pay. Do choose one that will have most funding support.

I think there is a huge caveat here! This in my experience is not the case.

As I've said before, you are the professional here who has expertise, not the client.

If I am the programmer I'd go with Angular. Nice framework. Great support, easy to find experts and unlike react like libraries Angular is a framework ie most of the choices are already made
