Weird, I always use buttons when I can, unless what I need is not actually a button, but something that performs and on-click sort of like a button, like a hyperlink that navigates you through the web app.

Well it might be a SPA so it's not a real link but rather just a function call + pushing some stuff to history and updating the URL (if you're lucky!)
