Over the past year we replaced an Angular front-end with the author's recommendations: Turbolinks and Stimulus.js. With the pair, our app mostly feels like an SPA, but has the developer benefit of leaning on server-side rendering.
The experience was wonderful and highly recommended. I think it's perfect for small teams who are more productive with traditional/backend tech.

You presented the actual valid argument for the OP's position. If you are a small team of largely backend engineers, using tech you aren't familiar with is probably the wrong solution. Unfortunately, the blog post decided to take a more aggressive stance and made the author just look like a fool.
- ernsheong 8y agoUnfortunately, there are too many weird corner cases with Turbolinks. And it doesn't work with certain ad scripts (which ad publishers aren't interested to support Turbolinks).
