Aesthetics of Code

Some background before I get to the actual question. I started coding in BASIC as a kid, then moved on to Pascal and C. College was more C and a lot of Java (J2SE) and random languages here and there. There have also been some web programming as well. Recently, its been Python and Android programming. Currently, I'm learning Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

It feels like the web frameworks and other web coding is messier than desktop languages, especially when you're working on the views where you're mashing the framework and HTML, Javascript, CSS together.

I even feel like Butterknife for Android is slightly messy and harsher on the eyes.

Does anyone else feel like this, if so, how do you get by with it?
