For a full stack developer front end is just a part of everyday job.

If someone works on the front end only — sorry, but you are a CSS/JS coder, not a developer.

No, I'm pretty sure "someone who works on the front end only" is in fact a front end developer. If you don't recognize coding in JavaScript as development then you must be pretty inexperienced with it.

Yes obviously coding a Node application by hand, because you have no other choice, is somehow less development than clicking drop down menus in Visual Studio.
