Traditionally web developer is a more broad term that covers front and back end work.<p>I agree that there is nothing wrong with evolving the term &quot;front end developer&quot; into &quot;UI&#x2F;UX engineer&quot;. My problem is that the OP is talking about replacing &quot;web developer&quot; with &quot;UI&#x2F;UX&quot; engineer. Web developer traditionaly includes backend engineers who aren&#x27;t only working on UI.
