I don't like React, but if I want to get a Job that requires React then I would strenghten my skills on it. I also don't like Wordpress but I deepen my skills in it because there is a demand and I can make money out of it...
I just learn what i need to make money!

You're right about PHP though, If you look around most of the software people are asking for in Upwork and even in some companies is PHP.
It's old but still around and word press is still a thing.

i have a doubt on that because here in the philillpines most outsource and big salary require reactjs skillls. specially in wordpress they require headless website

This advice is empty calories because the question is meaningless. Very few technologies are unilaterally “must learn.” React isn’t a must for front end developers, but there’s a thing to be said about its popularity and job opportunities.

React is just a rendering library, a fancy version of handlebars. It will be very easy to pickup after getting a good understanding of js

You will struggle to qualify for frontend developer roles without picking up solid skills in one of the big tree JavaScript frameworks, but yes, you can get many non-frontend roles without it.

Not a must learn perhaps, but probably the best skill to learn to land a job

[CoIdestMoments]

react is extremely easy AND the most popular so there is no reason not to know it as a frontend dev

I’ve moved to Lit-HTML…think it is best to stick closer to base web stacks in this case Web Components.

Why do you think the boot camps and some of the other accelerated programs want people to learn react if it's not being commonly used, do they think that it will be used in the future? Like is it one of those things that the schools are projecting that the industry will use pretty soon?

As a dev developer react is still usefull for me

[andrenations]

i like this guys but i think react is javascript and JavaScript is here to stay.

This guy just generalizes and pushes PHP. He will kill your career. Yes, you should know a Javascript front end framework. React, React Native, Angular. You MUST learn some front end framework if you want to be a full stack dev. Please don't let this guy sabotage your learning.
