The balance has shifted away from SPAs

I detect a similar strategy with Apple and the app store: make it so that the long tail of small developers can't invest in more than one platform by moving goalposts so frequently you spend any spare cycles you have trying to keep up. … ... Trying to get fancy is how you end up with a truckload of bugs you wouldn't have otherwise had. I've been on like 5 projects that have spent months dicking around with Next or Nuxt or Gatsby or whatever rubbish, lighting client money on fire, for a portal behind a login that doesn't need to be indexed and would work totally fine as an SPA. … > I have no idea why I'd go back to having to maintain a JS entry point per page ... The places people are most enamored with SPAs are tools that effectively replace desktop applications. Consider Jira or Trello. These are effectively applications that happen to live in the browser. If you built progressive enhancement on trello, it would effectively mean building a parallel application.
