State of the art of developer support

[Steve Lee]

I'd like to ask the collective brains here about the current state of
the art in support for developers in making accessible web apps and
sites.

I'm thinking of everyday developers who know nothing of accessibility
and whom might be using any framework or toolchain.

Looking around at various frameworks (both frontend and n-tier) I find
very little support at all in general. Either in the core frameworks
or their wider communities. A few do better especially Infusion with a
focus on a11y, but of course only a few devs are using it.

What do people think? What support is there and what could we do more
to guide devs above components with a11y baked in or page checkers?
