If I had to pick a favorite technology product I would say JavaScript because I am strongest in that language, but I tend to view the different technologies/tools/languages/frameworks all as tools in a tool box. React is like a jackhammer, for example. Very powerful for certain projects, but unneeded for my personal portfolio, and by using it I would over complicate the project. The tools used should reflect the needs of a particular project, and solve the particular problems presented in that project. Also, as I become more familiar with Ruby I am starting to appreciate it's simplicity and the quantity of built in methods that make problem solving a breeze.
