SPAs are a monster that grew and grew; an idea that at first seemed like a clever optimization has generated huge and complex systems that are a nightmare to work with, and are bloated, slow and insecure.

Web components are the next big idea. I hope they have a chance to work.

This comment could work equally well in any of the past 15 years. And for all we know, any of the next 15.

  • Angular supports web components as first class, as do frameworks like Blazor.

    It is mostly the React crowd that dislikes them.

I hate spas everywhere too but if you needed to build one for valid reasons React is probably a good bet due to large ecosystem and adoption. I personally avoided React as much as I could and luckily I won’t have to have to work with it.
