That in no way negates the fact that the ratio of "justified use : poor use" is probably 1 : 10. It is a widespread, serious problem that deserves to be continually called out.
> I don't know what you mean by middle ground fallacy when "Yes, sure, for some things SPAs are appropriate." is pretty much what I'm saying too.
I'm saying "Overuse of SPAs has reached comical proportions. That doesn't mean there is no legitmate uses for them."
You're saying (correct me if I'm wrong): "Hey, SPAs are right for some things, wrong for others. Why bother talking about it?"
One acknowledges a huge problem, while the other claims the problem is overblown.
> I don't buy into your numbers if only because I have zero clue where they come from
Honestly the proportion is probably much higher than 10:1, but the numbers are not based on research. They come from my personal experience of observing that most landing pages and simple CRUD apps these days are written using SPA frameworks. Based on my personal experience, it seems like it is the majority. It's possible there is some selection bias based on my browsing habits, but I don't get that sense.
Yes, sure, for some things SPAs are appropriate.
