On the server side, I think it's time for the lightweight web frameworks to shine - like ruby's sinatra/padrino, python's flask and equivalents in your language of choice. On the client side, I think everything still falls in 2 camps - Backbone for the minimalist, Angular/Ember for the rest. I'm hoping the web makes progress on the shadow DOM soon, so we can get a higher level of client side encapsulation.
