This comment smells like gate keeping to me: "developers who work with frontend tech aren't REAL developers".

Personally, I know many developers who are doing great work with frontend technologies. Some with little experience, some with decades of experience, some self taught, and some with formal CS degrees.

Frontend is a great career path for those who enjoy it.

I'm not sure where you read "developers who work with frontend tech aren't REAL developers" but it wasn't the comment you're replying to.

I mean, he did literally liken them to insects though...

...as long as the given front-end is done with a sane language using sane frameworks like Windows / Mac / Linux or iOS / Android.

None of those are frameworks.

They all come with a good set of standard frameworks?

Web ships with barely anything and when it does have something like Date handling people still write replacements for it because it's so bad.
