I think the hard parts are maintenance, patterns and code organization. On the backend tools are usually better and practices have been established for longer time.

Another issue I have is wading through tools and frameworks. Having a lot of different choices and less experience (talking about me here) means that sometimes I make the wrong choice.

Today for example I rewrote the forms validations in a Vue app because when I started I used the wrong library to help me do that :D

Tomorrow I'm going to dive more into how to lessen code duplication because I have so much of it (in the form of HTML and Javascript) between different sections of the app and I hate that.

So, to answer your question: yes frontend development can be harder than backend development :D
