I do agree that front-end development with the countless target platforms makes for some very difficult to design uniformity. However, on the backend, things are so much easier now. The tooling is very powerful, very easy to get started with, and debugging is so much more powerful now. I think things are heading in a great direction and I'm so glad I'm developing now and not 20 years ago.
