IMHO this is a false argument.
Ask yourself: Do "people2 prefer looking at "spinners" or more-or-less animated "page loading..." texts?
Waiting time is the issue, the technology is not.
A server generated page that loads fast beats a Framework-generated page hanging every time!
As for technology:
With "classic" server generated pages "people" will know what is going on (browser indication tht page is loading) and they will know what to do (wait a few seconds at most). With frameworks "people" are left out in the cold with no indication what the problem really is and no apparent remedy or path for solution as a page refresh might interfere with state logic or whatnot bringing totally undesired results.
