Never, never argument your way on authority, even to yourself,
arguments need to be evidence based and logically consistent.

Is that so?
Not in my programming.

Serverside has the advantages of beter security, consistent quality without 
cross browser problems.

Clientside reduces server load, makes dynamic pages possible, has no 
transfer delays, unless you use xmlhttp extensively. And can accomodate 
ultra cheap servers.

Using libraries, unless they are your own, makes you lazy, 
gives inconsistent results on version updates, but mostly is less fun.

Not at all!

My goal is my amusement and satisfaction,
for some the money and the glory of being praised perhaps too.

But be my guest, set your own goals, as long as you do not define mine.
