I have searched on the docummentation, and the provided examples did not use any JS Framework or not use any rendered component from dojo. Which should we use? There is a example of this on custom widget implementation?

4.2 introduced a new widget framework that you could use if you wanted to.

Besides that, UI development is completely up to you. We have a sample using Angular 2 and React.

The use of ViewModels and Accessor make it possible for you to build a UI in just about anything.

Here are some links off the top of my head.

To summarize, there is a new widget framework that is part of 4.2 that you can use and I'm pretty excited about it! But the ability to build a UI in just about any other Framework of your choice is fairly straightforward as well.
