Is it worth it to study the frameworks and CMS popular on freelance exchanges?

Question

Freelance

Maybe a stupid question)
I myself am inclined that no, but doubts still torment me.
I plan to study Laravel/October CMS thoroughly and do all new projects on them (all of them will be typical, online stores). That will be quite effective, IMHO.
At the same time, I am doing small private tasks on HTML-CSS-JS-PHP-MySQL, without being tied to any software products - it will still come in handy for me.
You can also support other people's Laravel projects. But orders with Laravel are still rare.
What do you think?

Answer 1

It is worth studying only what is promising and profitable.
Laravel from this list.
Symfony is also worth learning, although freelancing is not in demand.
It’s not worth taking projects on naked PHP: Indians (real ones) tried there, and poking around in such shit means not respecting yourself.

Answer 2

and do all new projects on them - it will be quite effective

don't tell...

after all, nothing better has been invented in PHP yet (my personal subjective opinion).

or you are looking badly ... (and don't even ask me "what else is there" and "where"? Go to Google!)
Bottom line: I advise you to learn native PHP - there will be more sense.
(frameworks are here to stay, learn in the background: Yii2, Laravel, Joomla...)
