Hmmm.... speak for yourself!
However, as a community our server side validation scripting is very strong, or at least OFBiz makes server side validation pretty easy. Ideally, you may not want the round trip to tell somebody they did missed a field, but until someone finds it important enough to contribute client side validation, I imagine it's not going to change very much ;)
The real issue is that if you do client side validation you still HAVE to do server side validation because client side validation is not reliable unless you have tight control of the browser client being used, and its configuration (since JavaScript can be turned off in most browsers).
Because of that we decided to go with just server side stuff to simplify the development. For custom UIs you can easily add client side validation, and this is often done.
