Don't ask about any of the following:
Mexicans only drink tequila
they only eat tacos
they only listen to mariachi
all Latinos are Mexican
all Mexicans own Chippewas
all Mexicans wear sombreros
all Mexicans hop the border
all of Mexico is made of dirt
Mexicans ride on donkeys not cars
Google insists none of them are true.

Not only them.

Very much the same dirt as in Texas.

False. Mexicans love their VWs.
See, I finished the test when can I begin posing as a Mexican?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

Dealing with JS, fancy JS libraries, HTML and CSS for a while now. Horrible things. Someone please make windows forms "cool" again as being "cool" drives everything now.

I think this is more a question of "better" than being "cool".

that's why I thought that ASP.net was a good idea with clean "code behind", and I feel your pain as I experienced this myself, but luckily on a small web project

Not everything.  There's a lot of work going on in native mobile development.

You don't hate them. You just lack the "interest" to embrace them, or perhaps, you're just lazy to learn them?

You must hate web more If you were to support IE6/Netscape
I must admit that I hate web development before, most especially when dealing with CSS, JavaScripts and cross-browser compatibility. But I have no choice but to learn and embrace them, I need to work for a living.

Hey, maybe its when I did web development the most advanced tool I had was notepad?
Or if I was working on the backend, there was simply no way to actually debug server side scripts. They just gave you some mystical apache server error.
I am sure things have gotten better, and I appreciate the "I need to work for a living." I suppose if the rate were high enough, I could do front end web stuff again.

Make sense!

I hate them, too.
Thankfully, I haven't done any webby stuff for a few years but I always regarded HTML as something that has spent way too long in God's waiting room; CSS as a complete pain in the butt and Javascript as absolute filth.
WPF rocks!

Oddly, I don't hate it. I don't really like it, but I feel the same way about WPF (why can't it just make things simple?) and WinForms (way too rigid, unless you accept creating your own controls, which is hell). HTML, CSS and JS all kind of suck, but so does everything else.

I loved creating my own controls.
I loved doing winforms.
I still remember the feeling I had when I (forcibly) switched from winforms to web-development about 4 years ago.
Complete disappointment.
Before then I thought the web was way way ahead of what it actually was (as it turned out).
I couldn't (and still can't) believe how much work and how difficult it is to create even simple things for the web.
Disclaimer: I still avoid as much front-end development as I possibly can so I'm not 'up' with all the latest and greatest stuff.
But from time to time I have to dive into JS and CSS and HTML and I still hate it.

Windows forms had it's own set of issues and painful ones at that...
Good luck...
