The more I work in web development, the more I conclude that the majority of web teams are just not skilled/disciplined enough to build an SPA when a static site will do.
Static sites do not have to worry about:
- memory leaks
- the back button / history
- scroll state
- focus state
- page lifecycle (tab freezing/unfreezing)
SPA frameworks should come with a "you must be this tall to ride" sign.
Super Genius Stuff
@nolan I find this fascinating -- I'm needing to make a simple "dashboard" website based upon files that are provided elsewhere, and since the website itself doesn't need any input, I've decided the big, unwieldily mess I was trying to get to work in angular is completely unnecessary. :P
