+1 agreed. There are some pretty crappy bloated client-side apps but when it's done well and it is appropriate for the app in question, it's amazing. I've been playing novelai.net text generation and I think their app is mostly client-side. It's one of the most responsive and fast UIs I've seen. Also, the article has this sentence: "Performant frameworks that care about user experience will send exactly what's needed to the client, and nothing more. " Ironically, a mostly client-side app that's only loaded once, cached, and is careful about when to request something from the server, might be more bandwidth friendly than a mostly server-side app.
