> I like to argue that some of the most productive days of the web were the PHP and JQuery spaghetti days

I've wondered if going back to that paradigm would be more productive or not than using React et al.

Plenty of big sites like Amazon or Steam still are made this way. Not exactly PHP + jQuery but rendering HTML on the server and sprinkling some JS on top of it.

Has anyone gone back to working like that?

This is how I work. My website is content enhanced with calculators and other widgets. The widgets are individual Vue apps contained within bits of Jinja templates.

The backend is an API for the contact forms and the feedback collection forms.
