Agree. I did a web application where all views were defined in the HTML file, all disabled except for the current view. The app would then switch views by simply enabling/disabling views as needed. It was super fast. And keeping the views up-to-date was easy. The app simply updated all views when the data changed => the visible view and all non-visible views would always be up-to-date without needing any special handling or virtual DOMs. Super simple. Super fast.
