I've been in between for like 5 years now - in between meaning that I currently work as a front end developer but started as a graphic design intern and I was always more interested in graphic design, UX theory and so on.
I have nearly zero interest in tackling with some es6 or some build tools where you have to spend a day trying to set up the whole dev environment.
What I like about my work is bringing static designs to life, improving them, adding motion, animations, some easing, etc. It's the visual part that I like about development.
I assume that's what designers also like - visual part. And current state of front end development is much more complex than that.
