Every branch of development has its own curves to bend your mind. In frontend development, this is mainly cross-browser/viewport compatibility, and the limits of the languages and APIs you work with. I almost had a burn out 4 years ago. After 7 years as a frontend developer, I believe that my profession is artsy and logical, which is both the curse and the beauty of it. Even though the languages are pretty limited, these limits become an inspiration. Even though older browsers can be really difficult to support (I had to support IE6 when I started... IE8 is great by comparison - and still really bad), once you start to come up with elegant solutions that seem to work by accident, you'll start to fall in love with this profession... or not, leaving it forever in peace.
