A very bizarre article I feel.

Stefan identifies common pitfalls or shortcomings of most single page applications such as:

1. Bad performance because of too many operations

2. Breaking browser navigation buttons

3. Not having unique links/anchors to in-page content.

While there are in fact multiple ways of bringing focus and solving these problems the authors suggests that simply ditching SPAs for native toolkits or backend/frontend system is the way to go.

While switching away from SPAs might mitigate the problems listed above - it will also present new problems that developers have to tackle - or simply spend time on.

The main problem here is how hard the problems he describes are to deal with in current frameworks I believe. He has one thing 100% right - bringing attention to those problems is the right way to go.
