Agree. But I don't think tools can be categorized as "real" web development. Someone who create a static site compiler in bash script is doing as real web development as someone working with all the cool tools on the block. It it has anything to do with HTTP/browser/webserver, it is as "real" as it gets. Everything else is a tool for a job nothing real or unreal about it. PS: This should not have been on the HN front page.
