How much of your negative feelings stem from the fact that it is a front end project rather than backend?

I feel there is an unfair stigma against front-end development in most engineering organizations. Without front-ends most backend systems would serve no purpose at all if the end user is a non-engineer customer/client/user. The frontend experience makes or breaks most endeavors. It’s of immense business value to have clean, maintainable bug-free front end code.

I frequently see projects of great value stall due to the bottleneck of having too few willing frontend developers to take the project across the finish line and turn a backend system into a usable product.
