I would recommend the polar opposite, actually: use a framework that has nothing in common with anything that you already know. After all, half (or more) of the point of personal projects is to learn new things, right?

Huh, that's actually a pretty valid point.

So one detail that I left off was that I actually also teach programming to complete novices in short time frames. It's kind of like a bootcamp but different in a lot of ways. We teach them node because it fits better with our tight schedule.

But if you're not too terribly rushed then sure, that does sound like a good idea.

I just mentioned that in another comment, the fun of learning something new.
