In my opinion the current abstractions that are used in web apps are not good enough. Frameworks may be "elegant" in a certain sense but never get intuitive enough for the average developer, and eventually the framework's author will lose interest as well.
I predict eventually we'll come full circle and get something like ASP.NET forms with Javascript controls that spans both frontend and backend.

With it you could mix-and-match existing user components easier than now. Many of todays framworks are "this is how the whole app should work", impossible or at least hard and fragile to mix and nest two frameworks with that attitude. What do you think?
