Actually, I like pretty much all web work. I don’t care for freelancing solo (all of the customer handling) so I don’t do that unless something special comes up. But one of your comments struck a chord: “Putting together a career on the web often involves pulling together disparate skills to keep customers happy and keep bread on the table.”

The part I dislike about web work is the constant dance to actually get work, especially when folks look at my disparate skills and say I’m either too overqualified or don’t have enough depth in something. Since I work with agencies for contract work and apply for perm opportunities now and again, I find too much of my time is spent trying to get the representation or interview opportunity. The work itself is a welcome piece of cake after that!

Another one is dealing with huge bloated CMS’s. As @RJ said – CMS’s that noone bothers to use in the first place. As a matter of fact, tonight I’ll be copying and pasting code into a textarea ad nauseum … and the thought of throwing myself out a window will probably cross my mind.
