At least it is what I see in the Austin area. I take part in a coding meetup that is flooded with web devs and aspiring "coders" who don't seem to know other things exist. The market is so flooded with jr. Web devs that it ended up helping me, but I see many struggling because of this to get their first gig. I guess there is no easy answer. I just can't help but wonder how this happened. Are other places seeing this trend?
There are many awesome coding applications, web dev is just one of many.
EDIT: This got a lot more attention than I thought it would. To be clear, I have nothing against web developers or people who want to be one. Go for it. Rather, I see people who do have a passion for coding tend to immediately go for web development, putting themselves in a seriously competitive situation when there are other areas in the industry that are lacking and as such, easier to break into.
