Frameworks are a result of an incredibly fast and competitive industry.

Yes. The industry of creating frameworks to polish your CV, the cynic in me would say.

Your server-only approach would probably be unaccepted nowadays, if the goal is to have a fast app with rich and dynamic user experience.

Ah, but you know what clients really like? A working app in front of users - and quickly. One without the bells and whistles, for sure. But working, being used and making money.

React!

I remember when React first landed, and the voices went up from the JavaScript community asking 'where is the framework?' 'Where do I download Flux?' they were all saying. Of course, you couldn't - Flux was just the way (some) Facebook devs were using React. Then (after a bit chaos) Dan Abramov branded a CQRS architecture 'Redux' and now we're lucky to have the hundreds of frameworks built on top of React.
