It's important to remember that ultimately, the library that Gutenberg uses doesn't change what you can use in your development - Gutenberg wraps the library inside the WordPress element, so none of the underlying library is exposed.

It's already possible to write Gutenblocks with mostly vanilla JavaScript, and they'll soon be entirely framework agnostic. The plugins you write could be based on any library, or none at all.

For me, at least, the much more interesting part is the library of (again, soon to be framework agnostic) components that Gutenberg is building. This is where the power of modern JavaScript development will make creating new things so much easier and more enjoyable.
