The most complicated web development stuff is the easy technology taken to extreme levels of pseudo-sophistication. The technology that's unpopular because it's too complicated to learn is actually easier to build real projects with, and maintain long term. The reason is because the easy stuff its too simple to have an architectural foundation or engineering vision. Easy to learn, hard to use. Sort of the learning curve version of a stitch in time saves nine. It's exacerbated in frontend because it attracts so many beginners. When the loudest voice is the junior developer, popular tech != good tech. That's why frontend is so chaotic and confusing. This is all sort of obvious, but nobody want's to hear it. When I've tried to state it in online forums, I'm either a troll or a gatekeeper. shrug
