Although there is definitely a shift going on, I suspect it won't be half as radical as people like the author tend to evangelize. This model may be a big shift for a simple web app, but for larger applications with lots of business logic it will barely make a difference. The "big web app full of things" will still be there, only with a few things less, and it will still be built with tons of tools, not just a micro framework. The future of web development won't be that different. There will just be more of it, but that's pretty much what has been happening since the 90's. There's enough exiting new stuff happening without going overboard and announcing it as a new era or a major paradigm shift. Maybe I'm getting old, but I find it tiresome.
