I'm learning html + css + Javascript. Javascript has been giving me a lot of headaches now.
After I master all 3 of that, I'm gonna learn jquery, angular.js, node.js, meteor, backbone.js, react, gsap, vue, and bazillion of other javascript frameworks.
After that, I would have the permission to move on to backend, cms and database like php, wordpress, drupal, python, ruby, django, rails, redis, and mariadb.
My goals are to learn enough so that I would eventually build and maintain my own saas. Need to be fullstack if I'm gonna do that.
If that fails, I'm will probably be left out with some programming skill. Will sell my service as programmer and build my portfolio from that and use the money to fund adsense websites.
Might be just a pipedream since I'm not the brightest guy in the room.

Being open source there are many talented devs contributing to WP... and many more equally talented bad guys trying to break it.

As you are more lying with the design skills in the long term, I would suggest you learn HTML+CSS, know a basic foundation of the web design, then learn Javascript, as this script can give you some "mutual activities on your webpage", next, try to learn the new era HTML5+CSS3, and know its power, till here, all front end of a web designing is ready.
Till here, you maybe are able to design a damn beautiful theme, but its typically STATIC, means it got merely no functions, you can't search on site, you can't let others subscribe your site, everything related "ACTIVE", your site just cant do it, because no "people" can do it for your website viewers.
So who can process these functions? The back end language, means PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby on rails, even Python bla bla bla bla, so now if you want to keep learning the design skill, maybe you should pick a language that can let your web pages more active, I would suggest PHP, as it is one of the most popular and got nearly every question covered already on the Internet. Btw, PHP is the back end language of the Wordpress.
So after you truly mastered the PHP, now, HTML5+CSS3+Javascript+PHP, wow, you are near to a good designer already!
As majority CMS users choose Wordpress, so you can keep your learning on this CMS platform, and use your skills to twink it to fit your customers need.
What a long way here, I would assume at least 1 year to learn all of these, maybe 2-3 years.
Cheers!

Wordpress is versitile, yes. Wordpress is VERY popular, yes. But Wordpress is also what 99.9% of all PBNs are built on and most people who use Wordpress don't know how to use it well enough to to leave all kinds of footprints. You can't simply drag/drop templates and install SEO plugins.
The best way to go is a hand coded website. Period. End of statement. It has more headroom for optimization. And its not even close. But... you need to know a lot more to do it the right way in order for it to show a massive advantage over a WELL DONE Wordpress site. So in the end it comes down to what you know how to do, doesn't it? And f you know neither you need to learn.

you will need some PHP too, but the most important will be HTML and CSS for your Wordpress changes

Wordpress is an obvious choice. Even if you're a great coder, why would you waste your time regenerating something that has already been generated. if you're good enough, just tweak the codes in between and achieve what you're trying to.
