That internal state is a burden on small teams though - you're efectively implementing the persistence layer twice. I'm totally onboard for SPAs as an option when breaking down an organization, or for solving a particular kind of problem. But they're just not worth the effort for a form-oriented website with a small-medium team behind it. Almost everything about a web-app is harder with an SPA.
