Why do people look down on web developers?

I'm a web developer and I'm annoyed at how people who primarily do desktop development think they're better than me. I know shit like C++ and Java too, you know.

There is literally nothing wrong with being a web developer.

Developer time is more important than CPU time

Why are you using JS then? It ruins both developer time and CPU time. If you wanted to save time you would use a language with a proper type system - which would, as a side effect, improve the CPU time.
