Discussion on: Should I start by learning vanilla Javascript or a framework?

I recently left a project and the new developers were asking where the react files and why I didn't use it.
My response was I used libraries where needed because it was todo with image manipulation which is outside my scope of understanding, the only JS left was showing and hiding elements.

I'm new to this and a freelancer but my previous career taught me to use the right tool for the job and in my limited experience already I'm realising too many people had a sledgehammer to hammer a small nail in mentality!!

Wow, i wrote my comment before reading yours, and we even used the same analogy.

Amazing, how the experiences can be similar when dealing with frameworkloverz :-)
