> Producing a good back-end is actually very hard for anything beyond a prototype and an often misunderstood art form.

Lol you didn't read his comment at all.

I fail to see how this is an actual answer to anything I have written. It feels like you are dodging with an analogy.

Can you please elaborate?

I understand where you're coming from, but I must respectfully disagree. However I'll say one more thing in defense of our users: modern front-end developers do data manipulation all the time. The data munging that's happening on the client is just as complicated and important as the coercion and marshaling on the backend. In many cases, the barrier preventing client-side developers from just doing the same thing is a different language, a lack of confidence, or organizational pressure and bullying.

Let's see what they can do :)
