I have to maintain a web interface with framesets and it's much worse than the React stuff I build. Yes it's "one huge js-dependant page for everything", but it can keep track or where it is (and go back to it) using location.hash or path entirely (if the webserver agrees). So I can fix single page apps, I can't fix framesets.

From a user's perspective, what you [as a developer] can or cannot fix doesn't really matter. What's broken is what matters. I find that with the JS craze we've been living for a few years now, things break a lot in the same way they did back in the frameset days. Except that now it is worse in some ways; with framesets, I could link to a specific frame if I wanted. And I could navigate back and forth too, as long as I understood the mechanics behind it. Now with the JS crapps, it's no longer something I can work around as a user.

  > JS crapps Just as a pointer, using this "portmanteau as diss" discourse style is generally a bad idea if you want to be persuasive to people who aren't sure yet whether or not they agree with you, rather than just "preaching to the choir" who already share your views. The rest of your comment made some decent points, but name-calling like this just comes off as childish.
