Super valid point. I've been a frontend dev for a while and I'm comfortable with HTML and CSS but I can definitely imagine switching to something else. The sunk-cost fallacy thing is real, though.

But the complexity arises from wanting to make apps with something meant for simple documents. That being said, even building the simplest website nowadays requires a mind-boggling knowledge of the idiosyncrasies of the "languages".

I want to lose my job; I want the next best thing to be completely different but still allow for creativity and productivity.
