Wow... So much hate for just trying to say "maybe understand JavaScript a bit more before you become a JavaScript framework Dev". Like David said, frameworks will come and go, the basics are the same, learns those. And to boot, he is literally saying it because he wants you to be a better Dev!
I just try to take everything as positively as I can. Frameworks are great but junior devs often get mixed up about what is JavaScript versus what is framework. Learning JavaScript will help you be able to use the frameworks better.

Indeed, if this is all the author said, then any real backlash would be an over-reaction.
He set the tone by opening with insulting both people's work (the frameworks) and then people themselves:
If you call people's work terrible and then imply that other people are weak and stupid - what reaction should be expected?
I guess I just took it as hyperbole.
I think this might all boil down to British humor that isn't coming through for all the readers (myself included).
It is the mix of hyperbole with actual advice that make it difficult for me to understand what is intended - education or satire.

I love British humor over American humor. Maybe that's why I could relate! Haha
