Writing UI code is hard, and I'm not sure why some HN folks assume web developers are ignorant.

But it really isn't and the proof is HyperCard from the 1980s. It's only hard because you have made it hard, for no reason that anyone can fathom (apart perhaps from job security).

I'm very curious what kind of web apps you think people are building. HyperCard was great for demoware -- and if you were to try and make it into a real production-ready tool you'd get VBA.

Do you really think everybody -- from Android/iOS to Swing to qt to Web 2.0 -- just had no idea what they were doing?
