> Now everyone went on a bandwagon that react/angular/SPA/progressive apps is the only future and plain HTML/CSS/JS mix on server side with specific language templates is dead Well it is not dead, but with the rise of Webapps (not Websites!) come use-cases you can only handle with SPAs. One major example is the new youtube feature, where the video playback is not interrupted when you click on a link somewhere (the video stays at the right bottom corner of the page and keeps plaing). No way to do this with SSR. Other examples include staying in fullscreen mode (think automatic playback of video playlists) - with SSR, every video change would trigger a page reload and thus require user interaction to go back to fullscreen. SPAs are not required for Websites, but for Webapps there are a lot of cases where SSR is not possible or would result in poor UX.
