Front end is hard. Slapping together some form elements, xhr requests, and DOM updates is easy. Building a usable, consistent UI, that makes proper user of the backend isn't. On top of that, every jackass thinks they get it because they're a user, so you get unsolicited suggestions from everywhere.

Meh. I’d rather make pixel perfect to designs than not have designs…
It's only scary if you're incompetent.
Don't forget the long nights of overtime, redesigning that one button component for the sixth time.
Because some doofus upper level manager needs to make the project his own and the button doesn't "pop" enough.
