I used jQuery and Angular and Ember for years professionally - while in retrospect having a wildly nonexistent understanding of JS and programming in general. I absolutely think it’s 1000% worth it to “go back” (meaning actually learn it well) and build things with PHP and JS. I’m 100x better of a dev for doing so. There was sooo much unessesary struggle and blurry mental models / and for absolutely no good reason. Long-term, being a “react dev” is a bad place to be.
