I, for one, would like backend/desktop/non-web developers to simplify things. Why do they need HTTP servers, logging libraries, UI frameworks, compilers, IDEs, APM, status pages, databases, caches, queues and algorithms. All us frontend devs want is for you to give us some data, you shouldn't need all of this bloat. It seems the backend community mostly echoes that the complexity is absolutely within norm. The cultural chasm between backend developers and people who push for simplicity is huge. And the refusal to admit the unnecessary complexity is nothing short of Stockholm Syndrome... imho
