I was thinking about this recently watching a major web app throw a bunch of errors and slowdownsall to do with its SPA features. If it was just a normal web app it would be so much faster and more usable. It seems crazy to me that we have faster and faster computers and internet connections, and yet we've added all this new latency to the software we use.

I find the list of pros somewhat unconvincing.

For a lot of applications, a reload is no hardship, and is faster than most SPA interactions I see.

For a lot of granualar actions, jquery, while not sexy, is not harder to maintain than a full SPA would be.

The alleged development efficiency of decoupling front from back really needs context and argument.

As I see things, there are a lot of web projects where a normal app with a little progressive enhancement is a good solution.
