I'm still using Jquery and some of the millions js libraries available only when you do not bind yourself to a SPA framework taking control of the DOM. And it work pretty well I must say! My opinion is that for 80% of the websites out there, a SPA framework is not only overkill, but is also a bad choice. Your website is probably not Gmail or Facebook. Server side rendering is perfectly fine. We should start a competition where any framework/no-framework could be used to develop a project and judge the winners using metrics such as : time it took to develop it, compatibility, accessibility, fun to interact with.

Web 1.0 (html and hyperlinks) is still valid and working perfectly. Web 2.0 (AJAX and DHTML) is still valid and working perfectly. Web 3.0 ([MVC][MVC][MVC][MVC]) is basically a fully client side application. It takes a professional to identify which solution will be the most optimal given the requirements. ...and yeah - most likely you don't need React+Rxjs+Redux for a wizard-like prev/next multi-select online-quiz, but it's me looking for a job so you're right. Hell - let's throw in async/await as well. You'll need a space shuttle to debug this thing.

  Nope, I think regular people are completely able to judge. Which do you prefer, Youtube from a couple years ago, where every page was a page? Or now, where every page is 15 weird loads of something with blank blocks and comments taking a minute or more to display? Regular users' opinions should matter more than a developers, as they are the ones who use it.

    In case of youtube the clients are copyright owners and advertisers, not users/viewers. Apparently for the former two this is the perfect experience.
