for the web you need to - learn html - learn css - learn javascript - learn ui framework whatever - learn what a transpiler is - install node.js just to process your files - learn how a client-server architecture works - learn how to setup a web server ... dude, you just don't know how deep this rabbit hole is

Lol, this is ridiculous. You need to learn HTML, CSS and JS, but that are orders of magnitude easier than C++. Many people using it doesn't even have any computer science training. Everything else you said (transpiling, framework, webserver) is totally optional and context dependent. And absolutely not needed to write a modal … I wrote a personal website this year, and I didn't need a single of this. Of course they are useful if you want to write a professional web app, but so is unit testing, a CI server, or a build system. But this isn't necessary to do simple stuff on the web. Writing a website has a incredibly low barrier to entry, that why so many people complain about web developers not being real devs. If you think the web is harder to grasp that the C++ ecosystem, you're being delusional to say the least.

  Orders of magnitude easier than C++? Please. C++ at least done Qt style really isn't that bad, it took me a few hours to get up and running with a reasonable Qt setup at work and start a project, when I had to do the same for electron I spent nearly a week mucking with gulp, babel, react and reading about which packing solution I should use, if I want to use TypeScript or Flow and if I can integrate them with the libraries I need to work with... Learning Qt is much easier than the JS ecosystem. It's one intergrated package with no messing around and a very clear suggested structure to applications. My coworkers still seem to want to hack everything in to main.js, can't understand react and one of the main libraries we are required to work with just doesn't integrate well with it at all. On the Qt side of things everything flows smoothly, the class architecture makes sense.
