Hello folks and welcome to round 678 of the Least Interesting Conversation on the internet. SPAs are great when they're necessary and MPAs are great at what they do too. Thanks for tuning in, the series stands at 678 ties, see you again tomorrow for rounds 679, 680, and 681.

I think this is too dismissive of the post.

The post wasn't about "which is better, SPAs or MPAs". It was specifically "what has changed in the last few years that now make MPAs able to handle things that they couldn't before". I for one learned from this post since I don't keep up with the current state of browser implementations of various features, nor with the consequences of these features.

I disagree, the post is itself a waste of time and energy because this is a problem that basically nobody cares about or is even aware of. It's not a real problem.

> this is a problem that basically nobody cares about or is even aware of

"Basically nobody" as a percentage of the global population? That's fine and as it should be. "Basically nobody" as a percentage of web developers? I strongly doubt that this is the case; but if it is, it is damnatory of our profession.

99% of the time the right answer is "use the best tool for the job at hand that matches your team and budget" but that won't generate the clicks.

Because it is a useless answer. You don't answer "what is the best tool for the job at hand that matches my team and budget" by "use the best tool for the job at hand that matches your team and budget".

No, but you answer with specific analysis rather than generalizing clickbait.

Why do you think people upvote these discussions?

Because it's popular? Do you think you've made a point now?

That was a genuine question, not sarcasm.
