Web Development is fine, it's the Javascript, and especially the frontend world that's the problem.

Why do we bother with a language that's inconcise, lacks so many common, useful functions (enumerals, strings, etc), and general doesn't do what we want it to do? In spite of fundamental problems, people try to address them with custom solutions. Those are inherently very PERSONAL solutions - because everyone wants to do it well and better - bound to raise discussion and competition at some point. That's what's happening. People are trying to fix something broken with their own, idealistic ideas.

There's nothing wrong with that, don't get me wrong, but I think we all know that we can do better on a more fundamental level.
