>developers who come from an "html programming" background can now build scalable and enterprise grade applications without breaking a sweat.

This is a popular misconception but inaccurate nonetheless. It may appear that way at first glance, but there is still more to building "scalable and enterprise grade" stuff than just cobbling together a bunch of off the shelf components.
