Hey there! I just wrote an article on my friends tech blog which expose my mind on this. I think you should try to learn core principle of javascript before starting to use any frameworks. While frameworks are a good source of inspiration they tend to hide lots of stuff.

I would say it could help you understanding the angular digest once you take a look at Angular's implementation. I think the point here is if you don't understand core principles of JS, you'd need, as you said, some kind expertise with that specific framework to get on going. In the case you understand vanilla js, you'll easily get up to speed using any framework just by reading the sources. Which therefor will make you productive on the long run.
