That's exactly what Ruby on Rails seemed like it was about to do ten years ago. But it was followed up by a counter-revolution that took us even further into enterprise bloat. It's as if there are hidden psychosocial forces that drive web developers in the direction of more complexity.

I think a vast majority of people in general, and developers especially, equate complexity with quality. And even when they realize that the inverse is true they don’t take the time to reduce that complexity.
