Why is web programming so horrible? I can't quite put my finger on it. I have tried multiple frameworks such as Flask, Rails and Express, but it doesn't matter what the language is. There's something about 'views' being rendered into web pages, clicking links, and having to use CSS and Javascript that really irritates me.

Plus Testing. Test for IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and all their previous incarnations. Then worrying about your servers and their downtime, having to switch providers, shit going down and having to get up at night to see where this vague exception is coming from. Databases and migrations. Fuck.

If you can't say why it irritates you, I can't say why don't like it.

There's your problem.
Just open a text editor and start writing a static web page. Then change the extension to .php and insert code for the parts that should be dynamic. Upload to a server and try it out. Done.

it's hard to tell why but for some reason web programming is really disgusting to learn especially its frontend - html + css + javascript
well its probably due to its nature, web programming it's basically non-stop creating of visual interfaces and that's always very annoying

Eh, it's not that hard to learn. The reality of the industry is that the work never ends. It's being taken over by marketing, the type of people that will ride you until they get their coke fix. Like all addictions, the ride never ends.
Your best bet is to find a niche that is never going away. Avoid the PHP ghetto like a nigger neighborhood, spend some time learning beyond the browser, and realize there is no such thing as perfect software.

javascript is only harmful for those programmers who need to be babysitted all the time, and can't do simple typechecks/valuechecks themselves when needed, or CAN'T AVOID DOING ADDITION ON OBJECTS AND ARRAYS
