Hopefully they can at least self-report on what they're using professionally. I also wouldn't trust any 'number of hours to learn' responses.

I've been working in React/Flux for one project, and though I was writing code within maybe 4 hours, I'm still learning the framework after ~2 weeks. I'm also not typically a front-end guy, so that is relevant.

A couple of things:

1) You will likely see in the comments that developers will self-report that whatever FRAMEWORK X they are using right now is amazing. Super fast and super maintainable. It's just the nature of how people feel about their current tool of choice.

2) I think it's fascinating that unlike native/mobile application development, there is no clear and dominant application framework for the web. I think this is a topic worth exploring IMHO.
