Also, while I get where people are coming from who recommend plain js, really learning how to do good front end development is only in part about knowing js itself. The OP would also benefit a lot from learning some high level concepts you won't get from doing vanilla js - routing and components in particular - so keep that tradeoff in mind when deciding.

The high level concepts you refer to are implemented in plain javascript. The general purpose of frameworks is to increase productivity for those who already master the language. You will have a harder time learning if you begin by using abstractions you don't understand.
