Would you consider Geth frontend or backend?
Backend
Here is a screenshot of someone running geth

Am I using the term client incorrectly?
I think so, yes. To me, client software is frontend, user-facing software for normies. I don't understand why the ethereum community uses it to refer to things like geth. To me, geth is clearly software intended for use by system administrators. It's not a client, it's a backend to which clients such as metamask can connect in order to serve as a more user-friendly interface.

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I will stick with alternate implementations for now.
(But I sure would like a better way to refer to code that is not Bitcoin Core but that is able to maintain consensus with the Bitcoin network.)
