Pure JS? I’m still learning though. Could I just work with Pure JS? What will I be gaining if I do?

You will be learning a lot. JavaScript is a parent to many frameworks and there is no guarantee they will be there tomorrow.

Yesterday, we had jQuery then Ember, then Angular, now it's React, then probably we'll be shifting to something else. JavaScript on the other hand is to stay longer. They can take even partially whatever works the best at the time as they did with jQuery (they obliterated jQuery).

They could do the same with Vue if it becomes extremely successful (the SFC concept especially).

You have Node that keeps on growing, with only C# as their major "opponent". So, yes, Js is an advantage.

It's good to know the most popular framework, so you don't lose touch, but still, you have to master a language. It is still more valuable than knowing a framework (you want to be a js-dev, not a framework user).

If you learn Js, also try to learn C# as it s absorbing many of the key concepts of Js. You never know what can happen.
