There's a ton of difficult FE work (esp. state). It's just that when it comes to a lot of the "basic" styling and responsiveness there's a lot of tedious work that should be automate-able (just like any framework or library, the goal is to reduce unnecessary work, not to suggest that the work is trivial).
