Take a deep breath and relax.

First of all I stupidly thought that the part about KDE/GTK which is in this comment of mine https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8508094, was included in the comment to which you replied. So my bad and -1 for me.

What I meant is I don't think that anyone sees Qt or GTK as monolithic systems and they are about 1000 times more complex than any JS library you could name, as they solve a myriad problems to which JS is oblivious and wouldn't be able to solve anyway.

Contrast that with the web situation today, where they can't even decide which is the view, which the controller or "hey, maybe these don't map very well on the web side of things". Yes I agree about Tim Berners-Lee and the http stuff. But at some point things have to converge into something coherent, because the problem we have to solve is quite elementary, compared to other technologies.

Also if you honestly believe that people who developed KDE and people who develop with AngularJS are performing the same type of work... it just betrays the fact that you're just a JS programmer and haven't seen some real engineering work.

Javascript touches the tip of the iceberg with regards to technical challenge and Software Engineering, so please... just take a breath :)
