I'm not sure it's fair to say that people are "making" front-end complicated. While there are of course a huge number of front-end frameworks and tools, I doubt there's a single one that wasn't created in response to some perceived problem or complexity that was already there.

I get hyped about tools, libraries and frameworks because they help me do more and better things. I mean I could do everything without tools, but it'd take ages and the end result wouldn't be as nice. That said, if I got stranded on a desert island and I could only take one tool, it'd probably be Sass (sass-lang.com/).

I mean, Wikipedia lists 26 different types of hammer. Isn't that excessive?
