Hashbang URLs are gone because of the PushState API, not because people have given up on the idea.

Hashbangs preclude even the option of the server even seeing the state that the client wants from the first request, necessitating severa hops. PushState, though it allows URL transitions without a full reload, is an entirely better and different idea.
