It's easy to second guess your tech choices based on various thinkpieces and comments when you're new. React will still likely be the top framework in 3 years. There are a lot of powerful network effects in being one of the oldest component based frameworks in JS. It's also held up strongly in the nearly 10 years since it was released. That being said I do agree with other comments that you should consider yourself a web/JS/HTML dev first and foremost independent of any framework.
