I think the turning point is already ahead of us where the thin client server-heavy webservices will be considered a "smell" or at least the uncanonical way of developing web apps.

It pays off to do a lot in the client (good libraries provided). You have a high frequency of development iterations, direct response during development and you are working closely to the "medium" of presentation.

I have had a project that started out as a flask web app and all of the sudden, I realized that moving things to the JavaScript world in the client (I was using ClojureScript there) was actually safer, faster and better than keeping it on the server. In the end the server Did validation and database access in the sense of a Web API. It really was a clean solution
