A very bizarre article I feel. Stefan identifies common pitfalls or shortcomings of most single page applications such as: 1. Bad performance because of too many operations 2. Breaking browser navigation buttons 3. Not having unique links/anchors to in-page content. While there are in fact multiple ways of bringing focus and solving these problems the authors suggests that simply ditching SPAs for native toolkits or backend/frontend system is the way to go. While switching away from SPAs might mitigate the problems listed above - it will also present new problems that developers have to tackle - or simply spend time on. The main problem here is how hard the problems he describes are to deal with in current frameworks I believe. He has one thing 100% right - bringing attention to those problems is the right way to go.
