Really? No C++/C/Python developers ever over-engineer anything?

I mean, you only need check out all the vulnerabilities in said C++ software for verification of that fact :)

I think what you're trying to say is that you don't consider 'webdevs' to be "real" developers.

I consider people getting real work done, without caring what anyone else thinks of their chosen tech, even in Excel VBA to be just as “real” as anyone.

To be honest, even if you appear a little 'elitist', I agree with your basic premise in that it's overly complicated for little reason and I do hope that one day we come to our collective senses.

I however disagree with the fact that I'm not a developer, and although I do it professionally I have little interest in the web outside of work.
