The problem I have with front-end development and especially with the current trend of using front-end technologies in the back-end (e.g. javascript and node) is the lack of a good IDE and debugging tools. Atom is more of a text editor (though a good one) than an IDE (I'm not familiar with brackets). For examples of good IDE's look at Visual Studio, Xcode, Eclipse, etc. but again, these are more for the back end.
