You don't need vDOM/diffing for many types of applications. Your CRUD app doesn't need to update at 60 FPS.

Diffing is an implementation detail. Imperatively updating might still be needed to hit that 60 FPS ;D

Personally, I lean toward server side web apps ATM--users are familiar with page reloads, and developers are familiar with building them.

This is changing--users want faster UX, designers want fancier UI, PMs want cross platform apps. These external wants have developers creating & familiarizing with simpler ways to achieve them.
