The web is a great platform, and so are browsers. JS apps running in the browser? Not so much. How many of those features you list are routinely broken by SPAs? Bookmarking and sharing URLs? Almost always. Going back and having a history? Often. Having multiple tabs, and forms autocomplete? Sometimes. I hate web development mainly because I love the web so much.
