I'd definitely recommend learning vanilla js over a framework. From there you should pick up and read the source of some useful libs like Backbone, or (shameless plug) my own MVC framework: https://github.com/techlayer/espresso.js
Only once you know how these frameworks operate will you be able to make an informed decision as to whether you need something as complex as Angular or React under the hood.
I'd also suggest learning Node.js - as NPM packages and the whole dependency management system of node is really great. Browserify lets you package such apps for the browser, and this is definitely the future of javascript imo.
