So there has always been this "war" between Front-end developers and Back-end developers which of the stacks is better. As a Developer who has worked in both fields, here's my take on it.

In terms of the users of your software, the front-end has more edge as compared to the back-end. Because let's face it, a user really doesn't care how robust your back-end is if it has a very poorly designed interface they simply won't use it.

Now, in terms of the application itself, the back-end has a bigger role to play, because what defines your software is how robust, secure and flexible your back-end is. The functionalities and features it has are all defined by your back-end.

In conclusion, both stacks are equally important in Software Development. Users need to like and use your software(front-end) and your software needs to work and have features(back-end). I hope this settles it.

Happy coding!
