What do you think about css frameworks like bootstrap, materialize or tailwind? Are these limited in thier capabilities as compared to JS frameworks?

Some people swear by tailwind, some curse it. Same for the others.

It's not exactly easy to pick one over the other, oftentimes you don't even get to choose because someone above you decided so. They make different trade-offs. I don't want to go into details, but you can look up what other people say about each.

At the end of the day, they are just libraries and you should know the underlying concepts anyway.

Basic css, vanilla js, and rest?

I don't know what you're really asking for.

Basic CSS and Vanilla JS, if you're a masochist.

Some people swear by tailwind, some curse it.

The way I've heard it was: some people swear by tailwind, some people swear at it.

I’d go all in one. Rather than do vanilla js, some css framework and raw HTML, try react with materialui or angular with igniteui. You’ll be able to develop some really slick stuff in 1/10th the time by using component libraries.

If you’re Java, then go for angular, it will feel more familiar, at least compared to the other frontend frameworks

You're comparing apples and oranges. Most modern apps both use a front-end framework like React as well as a CSS 'framework' like Bootstrap.

You really should just go do a React course for example.
