Yep, things change. Personally it always felt weird to have html separated but I was doing it because I had "html/css integrator" on the team, and it was easier for them to deal with html-only pages. But now, most front-end developers do it all.. html/css/javascript so it makes sense to create the best experience for them. And it just so happen that html is completely tied to components so there's no point in separating it. Basically, adding html to javascript is much more powerful than adding "some" parts of javascript to html. Every time I go back to django and need to create filters and other craps to put something in the html I feel like I'm wasting time with bureaucracy.
