I've worked quite a bit with JSF and although I was never a fan it does have some points. It allows for focusing more on contents than visuals also assuming the visuals won't be that fancy. There's plenty of apps that don't really require going all-out on eye candy. Note that it was always a problem when people do want eye candy. I also rarely had issues with performance but perf. is always an issue regardless of working with server- or client-side rendering. I pray for WASM to eventually replace JS. NodeJS ecosystem with all the experimental features, job ads in update notes, shitload of dependencies, one-function packages, legacy JS is a special kind of pain that I avoid whenever I can.
