Do you know jQuery inside out? If not, you should learn that before you worry about higher level frameworks.

Is React really comparable to things like Angular and Meteor? From what I understand, its supposed to be used in conjunction with a lot of other libraries, being only the 'V' in MVC and all.
That would disqualify Backbone too.
I'm not so sure, Backbone seems to do a lot more than React. I could just be talking out of my ass though, I've never messed with Backbone

I barely use jquery at all and build rather large JS applications. YMMV

Backbone offers some base objects/classes around Models, Views and Collections but does not enforce any specific architecture. It's completely up to you how you use it.

Actually, people should know JavaScript better before even hearing about jQuery... I lost count of how many times I heard people saying they know how to "program in jQuery" and that made me really sad/angry regarding how people lack curiosity and knowledge in their own field...
Not only that, but with current modern browsers, you might not even need jquery at all ;) http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/

This should be, "Do you know JavaScript inside out?". Native JS is where people should be starting.

#18where's react?

yeh i was wondering that too... but that's what I like about React actually. A simple skin for complex views on top of a server-side language (Java/Clojure for me).
It makes more sense to me since I don't want my entire site to be overly Ajax-y. I'd rather only feed a few initialization variables to js & have most of the site logic/navigation/variable-injection coming server-side from a nice persistence layer.

I'm not quite sure what's your point. Of course the magic has to happen somwehere. I just don't want to bother with it. AngularJS is not so easy to understand, but it works pretty well, for me at least.
