Until someone presses the back button. :)

I find it mind-boggling that people forget the hell of flash scope and the back button and broken history and POST-redirect-GET. Session state was miserable and the best thing about SPAs is avoiding that.

The truth is SPAs have to re-invent all of that on the client side. More SPAs have broken back button and history than server side apps ever did.
