sooo much effort is going into saving a few milliseconds either by rendering code in the browser or on the server - honestly who actually cares.. I like react because of JSX which I prefer to just normal HTML, but whether that's rendered in the browser, or on the server, also ok to ditch the whole thing and replace it with templating.

The actually difficult problem is hardly being addressed though, namely globally distributed data stores, especially with distributed writes. That's the hard problem, I haven't really seen a very convincing solution yet for normal 'web-apps'
