"this is necessary for building truly data driven apps".
So where should we try to draw the line at what is truly the kind of "app" that deserves this much JavaScript, versus a "glorified website" that management wants to see lots of interactivity/animations/etc.?
In my career, I've struggled far less with choosing a JavaScript framework for front-end interactivity, and far more with justifying how much JavaScript goes into Web experiences these days, without any concern for the end-user performance impact or other impacts that may not be as obvious, e.g. accessibility.
