p5.js or <canvas>

Question

Which one do you think is better to use? (or why should I use one or the other)

Cuál piensas que es mejor? (O por qué debería usar uno u otro)

Answer 1

Utiliza frameworks solo si lo que el framework hace tu eres capaz de hacerlo sin el. Utiliza un framework como ayuda para algo que ya sabes hacer, no para sustituir algo que no sabes.

Answer 2

Learn canvas first using vanilla JS and understand how it works as its always a good idea to learn a language before its framework. after that you could shift your attention to p5 which will make animations easier.
