Server side rendered is still fantastic for the vast bulk of web apps. Turbolinks and a bit of care around performance and all you users know is you have a fast site. Not many apps really need the super rich SPA type experience.

Server rendering is so fast in Phoenix that it had a lot of people clamoring for a turbolinks-like solution to the problem. It’s not perfect yet, but as a first version is remarkably capable already.
