I've done both and front-end work is definitelly harder. If you do RIA with a lot of ajax updates, need to keep state and handle events, it becomes even more complex.

Historically, backend work has always been a piece of cake for me: receive data, persist it, return updated data, start over. This is way simpler.

I've yet to encounter a project where the inverse will be true. End-Users are so ingenious!
