Real programmers don't make web pages, they create software! The web is a kludgy interface at best, doing something with the technology that it was not designed to do, and it shows. If there is any real "software" in a website, it's the underpinnings. Having to suffer through a web "interface" is like going back to green-screen terminals after having had used a PC for a decade or more.
