It's pretty clear people use "web programmer" as a synonym for "poor programmer" or "lesser programmer". Oh, you work on hard problems and complex software? I wouldn't call that web programming!

HTTP/CSS is just a small part of the "web"; it doesn't speak to the complexities of the system behind the curtain.
