How can programming with others be the reason, if the OP is saying they find programming for the web with others is much harder than applications development with others?
You cannot assume that the others with web programming is the same others with application programming. The result of one doesn't have to match the other.
Okay, but then how can an observer uninformed on the composition and dynamics of either group conclude that's the real reason it sucks? Unless they're slandering web developers but didn't make that clear?
