> Would you call Microsoft Visual Studio an app? Probably not. Yes. Visual Studio Code is a good example of a high-quality web app built by front-end developers. 'App' is a shortening of 'Application' popularised by iOS. The state of the art in UI Engineering, is everything that used to be done in C++, but on the web/cross-platform using a mixture of JavaScript and WebAssembly. Anyway, my point is that you are shitting on front-end development, yet there are front-end engineers out there developing high-quality software, and it is difficult: it requires a lot more ability than just copy-pasting from W3 Schools.
