You admitted to being a beginner - a beginner shouldn't be recommending technology choices beyond that a particular choice might help people get started. There is too much a beginner does not know was his/her point.

He said he was a front end JS beginner. He also mentioned being a seasoned software engineer overall.

His advice is completely sound, and a very valid approach: Want to learn a new platform/ecosystem? Take whatever is the most popular and make stuff work. It's the fastest way to learn by far and with an free bonus you get actual valuable software.

Nobody flames people who learn Rails while learning Ruby! What's the matter with you guys?

The only mistake the GP made was "admit" on HN that he's a beginner at something.
