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.
