Everything done badly of course causes the same effect. But we are dealing with a massive mess that is the worst case of both worlds.

Since we need to also provide an API going forward to our clients, for our usecase this was a great solution. However we are not doing an SPA, the main framework and navigation is still server driven. The difference is that the "create new user dialog" is now a react component that calls the corresponding api.

Running through the API also makes it easier for us to handle the caching of data at that layer instead of a mix of jquery calls and random div HTML generation.
