Hi there, great article. That's really interesting to share your views and opinions about that subject. Personally, I already tried server rendering with EJS and yes I watched Brad's tutorial too back then. He is so good at teaching stuff btw! But I prefer to do everything on the client and leverage my server for APIs for instance. Most of the things that the popular Frameworks do are already possible to do in plain JavaScript without much pain. For instance, looking at Vue.js they even said that the VueRouter package is in the end a wrapper to the Navigation API native in the browser and if you know that API, you'll know how VueRouter works internally. Too bad people often rush into Frameworks without really understanding the underlying concepts.
