I need to stop clicking on the "why we left x for y" articles on HN. Mostly people have picked the wrong tool for the particular job and the articles are just an embarrassment.

Obviously SPAs take a lot of extra work to make search engine friendly and are probably going to be the wrong tool for the job for any site which requires that. Much of the web isn't searchable and doesn't want to be searchable. If you are writing a web app to solve some business problem which sits behind a login angular really isn't a problem.

Think of the millions of poorly maintained and inflexible VB and Java business apps out there that are due to be replaced and the employees who are wanting to do business on the road with their macbooks, chromebooks and tablets. There is your market for Angular.

The Problem is that most of the people only read about "the new fancy JS frameworks" and then they choose it too.

Most articles are so optimistic (because it is new, cool, make fun), that is hard to understand if the "tool" is the right one or not, you see it when you use it.

So i am glad to see when people / companies write about their expierence with the "new" technologies. Everybody can then verify if the tool is the right tool for a project/problem or not.

E. g. you write "If you are writing a web app to solve some business problem which sits behind a login angular really isn't a problem". When somebody read this, this person thinks "cool, angular is the right tool for a login backend application".
