Agree, React is great for UI interactivity. > ...the more stuff the client does, the cheaper it is to scale and less bridging between the server you have to do. Disagree. The most costly form of scaling is people. UI + business-logic + data-modeling + data access (ACL) all held in async client concepts is a complexity nightmare in my experience. Even for my team-of-one side-projects. Server <-> client bridge is a feature for managing complexity over time. I may agree that added ceremony could make 95% tile app experiences default harder. But for anything that's not a toy, the #1 risk is always team/people/communication complexity.
