I can completely relate to this post. I'm not a full time developer but I learned the basics of web development back in 2010. It was straight to the point: HTML, Js and Css for front-end. C# or PHP back-end and a good LAMP setup. Since then many frameworks have been added and sometimes I just wonder if many of them are really necessary or add value. I don't have the answer but I believe simplicity is better as long as the main goal is reached without compromising efficiency and reliability.
I'm a web developer, graphic designer, type designer, musician, comicbook-geek, LEGO-collector, food lover … as well as husband and father, located just south of Copenhagen, Denmark.

I agree, simplicity is always the right path!
