Actually I see this as reversed, 5 years ago there were a lot more front-end developers (or just web developers then), since it was fairly common to create static sites with little or not interactivity, and if you had a fat client it was in flash (also a front-end only technology, mostly).

I don't think people writing some scripts in PHP would have considered themselves full-stack or back-end.
