False. It's relatively easy for SPAs to handle the back button gracefully, you can change the URL to indicate the state of the app and add it to the browser history, listen for url change events to then change the state, etc. Grooveshark handled them just fine, you could even copy/paste a song, artist, album, playlist, etc url directly into url bar for the already open app and it would open the appropriate page without doing a refresh and interrupting your playback experience. However, even if the back button were as terrible as you say for SPAs, that would be a mark against SPAs not browsers or the back button, which is of great utility, which is why those pesky users insist on pressing it.
