A SPA should be the emergent result of creating an application that does something people want, not a goal in itself. Your builder doesn't show up at your house to put on a new deck and go "Gee, I really hope I get to use this 20-pound sledgehammer on this job. I hear it makes great projects" If you start with how it's going to end -- it's not going to end well. Having said that, what you're most likely seeing is that a ton of tools and frameworks are built for no other reason than 1) Coders need something to create to show other coders how awesome they are, and 2) People want something that works like everything they know -- it just does these one or two new things This is a great way to make a mess over a decade or two, and you're right for waiting it out. Make a SPA if you need a SPA. Key question: How do I know whether I need a SPA or not? (Or whether React makes sense, etc)
