The phrase "I'm not a front-end person" is often uttered by developers. This statement is always disappointing to hear. Learning, experiencing, and becoming an expert at web development is not difficult.

I'm reasonably skilled in all technology mentioned in the article and I'm still 'not a front-end person'. Because there is more, way more: Accessibility, Usability and feeling for 'style' to name a few things. Even just photoshop et al (should I have mentioned creativity in the previous list?), yes html5/canvas and css(3) go a long way, - but not all the way. Having knowledge in and experience with developing front-ends or any UI is critical knowledge for any senior developer but regardless of skill it still doesn't make the person 'a front-end person' because the 'soft' skills just don't come naturally. ,
