To their credit, the not so junior developers are constantly telling them that they HAVE to learn React.
Pick any Javascript forum on the internet, even HN comments, if you'd like. The common comment is "Just use React".

The interesting thing is they are not lying: You'll get a job which will last until the new library de jour arrives.
Maybe this is how the job market answers the high demand. I personally have no idea.
I can confirm this.
I work in a large corporate environment and we're rebuilding a legacy application in Angular 1.4. They have no plans of migrating and even talk of moving to 1.5 or even 2.0 I've been told migrating to either 2-3 years away.
The problem I've come to have with this as I get older is... I realize that I have a limited amount of time to learn new things. I still love doing it, but if possible, I'd rather spend that effort on learning portable, enduring, and broadly applicable things than ephemeral arcana involved in learning to do essentially the same thing a different/"modern" way. New learning should be for new capabilities, a better quality of insight, and real advantages.
All that said, I told her to pay attention in the Udacity backbone class. General framework knowledge should let her generalize using JS.
What did you say here? I've been thinking a lot about this lately -- In my opinion, a websites are a part of an 'app': the client.
* If you use FE JS to implement any of your sites functionality then you have an app.
* If you only use FE JS for just presentation logic then you have a website.
Or Vue.
