From the outside, front end development in 2017 looks pathologically overcomplicated. Is this a fair perception? If so, why is it happening?

In a lot of cases it's because complexity moved from the back end to the front... in the worst case scenario it was only partially moved.

So templates generated on the backend are then taken over by angular in front end. Same complexity, in two places.

Worst of both worlds when you don't really commit to a client side app or anthropomorphic but try to generate it two ways.

Add to that, dev toolchains are crap for front end because you develop front end differently. So it all had to be reinvented. It's a WIP.

IMO when we sort out the fe toolchains, much will improve. But that said, folks' expectation that it should be simple is part of the problem
