Web programming is ok. A lot of the complexity comes because it is actually two different problems:

1) The problem of displaying a (mostly static) page of HTML

2) The problem creating an application

There are web frameworks in existence that solve either of these problems, but things get ugly when people don't think about which problem they are trying to solve.

The real problem is that 1 was turned into 2 without replacing 1. It's kind of amazing that HTML and CSS have survived all the way through 2016, and don't look they're going to be replaced for a long time.
