This is a popular misconception but inaccurate nonetheless. It may appear that way at first glance, but there is still more to building "scalable and enterprise grade" stuff than just cobbling together a bunch of off the shelf components.

It's possible - but not without breaking a sweat. Coming from "HTML programming" you are looking at many years of experience and learning to get to that level despite how good tooling has become.
