I think we will see a complete division between old front-end developers and new one. We are already seeing it now, but not as we will in the next 9-12 months. React, Angular, Vue are so easy to learn people often forget about vanilla JS and its part in the ecosystem. I think this will change in the following year and we will see some negative numbers in frameworks usage, as we did with Bootstrap (Not falling, but remaining still and losing some terrain month after month), going back to the roots with performance, accessibility, scalability and maintainability in mind. And, of course, PWA & CSS Grid will increase in usage statistics.
Coding is as much a matter of personal growth as it is of logic and control-flow. I keep patience, curiosity, & exuberance in the same toolbox as vim and git.
