Serious question : Why are SPA frameworks so popular these days? When someone asks "What should I use for web development?", It's now all about React/Angular/Ember/etc.

But when I look at how are built the sites I like and visit frequently, I'd say 95% of them are not SPA, they are classic sites where the server generate each page (sometimes with one or two Ajax requests)!

The Single Page pattern is great for desktop-like applications such as Gmail, it's obvious. But otherwise, I don't know... I think I still prefere the "feel" of classic websites.
