Server-side is good for
    - keeping your super-duper proprietary
        source code secret
    - interfacing to other stuff on the server,
        ie databases, mail or news servers, etc
    - dynamically updating your site - adding "today's
        headlines" etc.
    - separating code from format (ie templates) -
         makes maintenance and updating easier.

Server-side is bad for
    - increasing the load on your server
    - introducing security holes (when
        poorly written).

Client-side is good for
    - making individual pages dynamic -
        image rollovers, form checking, etc

Client-side is bad for
    - major incompatibilities between browser
        object models makes cross-browser
        coding difficult.
    - your source code is open to the public
