In my experience, even the front end profits from Backend-First doctrine. That allows us to pre-define the data structures we need processed and displayed. That way we can keep the front end as simple and dumb as possible. Also, it encourages a "form follows function" design principle.

Of course, it also always depends on what you're working on. I don't think there's a definitive answer.
