This question comes in many flavors, should I learn MS or Open Source? Should I buy a PC or a Mac? Should I drive a Ford or Nissan? Should I buy a Dell?
I really comes down to personal preference. Who says you can't do both? I have a corporate IT Background. Microsoft Technologies have kept me happily employed for over 10 years. I'm currently a Full Stack Developer on the MS Stack working for a local gov't agency. However, I have never been exclusive to MS Tech. I love the Mac Book I use. I spin up VMs whenever I want to try something new.
Never stop learning. That's what you should focus on. You'll never be an expert an everything. Try to learn as much as possible about as much as possible. Breadth and depth. I believe we're passed the point of praising the Tech Specialists. Organizations are in more need of the Tech Generalists. We need to know a lot about the Full Stack and everything in between.
Lastly, it's all about finding the right tool for the job. It's best to have a nice set of tools that you can pull from. You'll be better prepared to make architectural decisions when you understand the differences in the tools needed to build great products.
