- dmix 13y agoIndeed. Try building a Javascript MVC app. I've been doing it for ~3 years, since Backbone.js was a tiny unknown project, and it's still painful. One positive is the lack of old IE version support these days. But then there is also mobile.
- diggan 13y agoIf building a Javascript (MVC or not) app is still a pain for you, you should check out some more feature packed framework like AngularJS or EmberJS and you'll see that most of the pain have been medicated.

- Kiro 13y agoDue to mobile we've more or less moved back 10 years. Getting things to work consistently across all kinds of mobile browsers is on the same level as struggling with IE6 but with much more randomness.
