Never met a corporate SPA that didn't have abysmal performance.

That said, framework choice isn't the problem, frontend devs having no clue how to design and use API's is.

I think bringing in component libraries that include the kitchen sink, the farmhouse and the farm... as well as the neighbors farm are a big issue too.

Corporations fill their ranks with junior developers, more breaking news at 11.

I remember plenty of multi page applications from big corp that ran like a dead dog too, back in the day. Or ASP sites that wrapped the ENTIRE page in a form, with all of the frustrating complications that entailed.

Hated ASP.Net WebForms over dialup for sure... massive view state, it was a mess.

I think that's what lead into a lot of "Alt.Net" development and tooling... when the blessed ASP.Net MVC came out a lot of the alternatives just died quickly though.

I switched to straight HTML, JS + .ASHX handlers for a lot of things leading up to that point.
