I read all of this, made a 8 paragraph long retort about the stupidity of backend devs in this thread, then deleted it.

The reality is, if you don't currently serve a website 1,000,000 people want to use, just pick some terrible server side piece of crap and call it good.

If you want 1,000,000+ people to use your website, you better learn that a dynamic user experience is expected, and delivered with eloquent javascript and design.
