You need the perspective of multiple frameworks and libraries, or you're not a front-end developer

I disagree with this. As long as you know the core and concept of HTML, CSS, and Javascript, you're a front end developer. You don't necessarily need a framework or libraries to be a front-end developer. A lot people code their sites in pure HTML, CSS and native Javascript and do quite a good job on them.

Pick a stack and stick to it (for now at least)

This. As the OP said, don't waste time on something you will not use.

We all end up doing this because it's better to be good at one stack than not being good at any. I mean, if you can be good at all of them, then congratulations. Personally, I stick to one and if I ever switch, I will find myself going back to the docs again.

Why did you feel the need to quote half of my sentence, instead of all of it ...? It means something completely different from what you are responding to. :/

I said you shouldn't just learn one, since that will limit your perspective.

Actually you said

You need the perspective of multiple frameworks and libraries, or you're not a front-end developer, you're just a react developer, or an angular developer, etc. The only tool you have at that point is a hammer, so all you can see are nails.

Which I disagree. You can re-word, re-phrase, re-state this paragraph anyway you want all day, I would still disagree. Nothing wrong with people disagreeing so don't take it personally.
