This is largely code for "I used to slap shit together and nobody told me I did a bad job. Now I slap shit together and people tell me it's just shit slapped together and I don't like that." The real gradient is more like: 1) a SPA is needed because it might have to run offline 2) A SPA is extremely beneficial because the state of complex interactive are difficult to maintain on the server 3) A SPA helps because we have complex interactions and want to keep the server stateless 4) A SPA is used because we only have developers who haven't done it any other way and won't be fast enough trying something new 5) A SPA is strictly detrimental and ought not be used because there aren't any complex interactions and the added weight to processing / network traffic / etc overwhelm whatever justification we had. This is not really novel, newsworthy or even worth yet another rambling blog post.
