It irks me that this is called Frontend. It's not, it's design. Call it Design. Or Frontpage 2013. Whatever. Frontend is a development skill, which requires intricate knowledge of markup and javascript languages/frameworks.

Oh come on. "Frontend" isn't a skill. It's a piece of software that makes interfacing with another piece of software easier.

There have been frontends long before there was HTML.

That's a fair point. I may have made the assumption that this was named after the skill.
