This is one the most insightful responses, so much of this rings true to me. It's relatively straightforward to just echo out some html from a server. This works pretty well, and conceptually it's easy. I remember reading an article recently (I can't find it) that argued that the human readable part of the web should have been just this, a place for static pages to render and be read. The reason it works so well is because that was what it was designed and build for. So it has basically just completely escalated by its attempt to replace native applications. Except it is and always will be worse at everything a native application does. You have to seriously ask yourself if you actually have that problem before just jumping on the bandwagon. I suppose that is sort of complicated by the fact that every framework out there tries to sell itself as the best thing since sliced bread, except advertising what is for. Browsers have come a long way in 10 years, if you haven't been paying attention. It is absolutely amazing what has been achieved.
