I work front and back end, I've seen frontend done the "simple" way but not often. The syndrome I'm observing is that guys are chasing the next thing so they can bump up to a better paying job, and nobody is ever worried about maintaining their flaming pile of garbage long-term. When new guys come in to find someone else's trash code, they always need to rewrite it in the new thing. It's really no that hard to use modern tools tastefully and with restraint, but it's so rare to see.
