I mentioned this more in my other commend on this thread but I should mention that I think the bar for when people reach for an SPA framework like Angular is probably a lot lower than is reasonable. Angular in particular is designed for enterprise style applications and that is about it. Everything you need for that doesn’t come for free in terms of complexity obviously. The other thing I mentioned elsewhere at the total other end of the spectrum was Hotwire. That is genuinely as close to 2006 web development as I can think of in terms of simplicity and is probably enough for the majority of applications up to and including an email client in the browser which is what they originally built it for.
