I see it as a nuisance like cleaning the garage. I would rather spend time learning MVC and OOP next and not get bogged down with JavaScript, but it seems that the way I programmed my PHP, I am painted into a corner. (See my other thread: Session Questions)
These days I feel like I can’t keep up with evolving technology, and so things like “Responsive Design” and JavaScript feel like a burden considering I don’t even know MVC and OOP.
