MEAN is actually pretty outdated. More like React and RethinkDB and a million other things.

But yeah, having had all three roles, back-end is often much easier than front-end or full-stack, despite the false sense of superiority that back-end only devs have.

Also having done C# for several years as well as JavaScript, Java/C# type languages are overall easier than JavaScript because you get things like intellisense, static type checking etc. from the compiler.

I agree on C# being easier overall, but I find less disconnect with node.js on the server when JS is the client. It's usually the structure of Java/C# type projects that tends to get to me more than anything... just more complicated than it should be.
