> I've noticed this spirit of "learn everything" all over the React and JavaScript community, and I don't think it's a good thing.
I strongly disagree there. The only way for an engineer to make good decisions as to what tools / framework to pick from is to know and understand as much tech as possible.
It is fundamental for an engineer to do this job of tech-watching in order to not become religious and blinded by the tool it's currently using.
React is good , but it has it's own issues. If you don't do the effort of learning other tech ( Angular , Vue ) you have absolutely no idea what those issues are, and you will just learn how to work with them ( Atomized ecosystem , Heavy Boilerpate ) and basically accept them as a normal thing.
They aren't.
Learning other tech makes you more encline to try new things and to criticize the tool you are working with and how to improve them.
