As a UI designer (at times), I have to say... It isn't easy. I've made much nicer UIs on MacOS and iOS than I have on the web, with considerably less effort. Part of it is what people expect. You get pushed and pulled when it comes to designing things for the web. Partially by constraints, partially by people's desires and expectations. It's better than ever these days, but my career has generally had the greatest challenges presented on the frontend of web projects. I find backend development a bit "smoother". I won't say easier, but... I don't know, the frontend of the web is a jungle and a bit of an uphill battle sometimes.
