This is the best answer I've received to my concerns. You're predicting that people will move from backend to frontend for the MVC layer (or w/e will come next) and this is why you are keeping up with these sorts of developments.

Good answer.

The move has already come in B2C apps. B2B is lagging and internal apps and consultingware will be the last, as normal.

The problem I see is that the frontend models are not designed for internal apps in mind. Yet. They're not designed for a mediocre developer. I think we could do a lot better for that use case. Right Now, it's faster to do a server-generated app with no ajax. I don't think that has to be the case.

I currently work with a few very popular B2C ecommerce platforms and none of them have made the move to this sort of thing yet, the best we've got is Spring MVC with AJAX.
