> For people who only care about SPA the conversation has been frozen for almost a decade

I don't know, there's been a lot of stuff since 2014.

In client-side React we've seen stuff like react-query, mobx, etc which weren't there a decade ago. Back in 2014 everyone was still using redux (ugh).

Or Svelte and SolidJS which have brought massive improvements in performance and reducing JS with signals, compiler, etc.

And if you're still using React with Redux you're doing just fine for SPA development, as in you're actually still modern and not merely fine. React Query is the only new development you listed that SPA professionals may want to think about, and even then only a little. It's a life convenience tool for making async calls to foreign APIs easier (for internal APIs you probably want RPC-like experiences with type and client generation).

Meanwhile MPA people are redefining the boundaries of work by marrying the frontend to the backend. They are doing some big re-architecture type stuff, and it is very interesting, far more interesting than React Query being the better Axios. If I had to lead with an argument about interesting changes on the SPA side, I would've lead with the ongoing improvements to CRDT libraries. It's niche but there really isn't much of a revolution going on otherwise on the SPA side.

Not sure what you mean by "fine".

There's nothing modern about client-side React. To get some perspective consider that more time has passed since today to the release of React in 2013 than from React to jQuery in 2007.

Oh my God! That just sent me into a mid life existential crisis for a moment.

Quite a good number of React apps are offline-first. I build offline-first software for emergency services. That means one should maximize app usefulness despite temporary disconnection to peers or server.

The ROI proposition of MPA/hybrid becomes really meh.

FWIW, both Redux and Mobx were invented in 2015.

Thanks for the clarification. It was a long time ago!
