I once got contracted to integrate with a large government web app that was created with some sort of legacy SPA generator. The app was written in .NET and the js on the page would render the views from specs it would get over XHR from the .NET app. It positioned everything on the page absolutely and everything was styled with inline styles. The people who manage it were quoting outrageous numbers to do the simplest style changes because it was so hard to work in. Very few improvements ever got made because the money was just not there in the budget to pay these ridiculous quotes.
