> They will be condemned to the bad ideas pile with table based layouts and Flash sites, with the latter, they share a lot of similarities. That's what I don't get about SPAs' popularity: they're just as bad as Flash sites, but at least with Flash everything was self-contained, and very, very few people tried to do everything in Flash (and those who did were roundly mocked for it). But now it's 2017, and every time one comments 'why does Blogger require me to execute code in order to view text & images?' some kid will say, 'hey grandpa, get off the Internet so the rest of us can get work done!' The mass adoption of HTML+CSS+JavaScript is, I'll grant, a massive leap forward in terms of pragmatism but a massive leap backward in terms of privacy, security, usability, performance and sanity.
