Developing on the back-end has much more mature tools in my experience, IDEs and QA tools. Client-development is often not much fun dealing with the browser dev-tools. So I share your feeling thath serious development is better done on the back-end. But in principle there should be a client-dev-tool as good as those for the back-end. There is some progress. I've used WebStorm to do client-side work which has a niocve feature that as I debug my client-side program I can use WebStorm instead of browseer-tools and if I see a typo in my code while debugging it I can edit it away and it gets saved into the source-file where it came from.
