There is no "vendor lock-in". If you read the article I have written, if you have written AMDs you can use requirejs.
What I highly recommend if use dojo's declare way of doing object oriented javascript.
Specialized libraries are always going to beat general purpose libraries, but the reason big frameworks are popular is because they give a structure to the project. The dojo project I did will look quite similar and familiar to any other dojo developers, we will use same way to build our builds, same way to represent data using object stores, our classes will be compatible with each other, and our widgets will look familiar.

There is value in it.
