God, I am so tired of these arguments. We need to stop bike-shedding web technology. You will never, ever convince me to go back to server-side rendering for the type of work I do. Are there other domains where that would be the wrong choice? Absolutely.
The web is a platform and we should not treat these tools as one-size-fits-all. Use the tools that fit your use case; there's no use in talking about the how without the why.

- ng12 5y agoInteractive display of data sets. Mostly in finance, but I've worked in a few other industries where the same patterns apply. The focus of my development time is building out interactivity and optimizing data loading. Generating pages is the easy part. As an example, I don't care about bundle size at all. A given app might have a hundred users all on desktop loading from an internal network. I will happily add a few MBs to the bundle if it increases the development velocity of my team.
