The current div-soup approach with massive JS enhancement is what is a bad idea. It abuses the document model and makes information less transparent, less semantically meaningful, and makes it hard to share and reuse components between sites due to leakage. It also makes debugging and reading the DOM in an inspector far more messy. Scoped CSS and Shadow DOM clear up the leakage problems and introduce proper encapsulation to the web beyond heavyweight IFRAMES. The templating system lets documents expose information in transparent ways again, rather than executing a big ball of JS just to get the DOM in a state that is meaningful. Web Development has been fundamentally broken for ages. The basic ideas to fix it have been discussed for years. Every day delayed is a day for more native encroachment.
