And the future beyond that will be client-side rendering. In the beginning everything was rendered on the mainframe; then CICS allowed partial screen updates and even dynamic green screen design. Then the early web where everything was server which made the job of web indexing much easier. Then we moved back to rich client apps -- applets, flash, eventually SPAs -- with no way for search engines to easily index things. A best of all worlds scenario is a rich UI that only needs to make API calls to update the display, keeping performance fast and content flicker-free (and the server-side API could have an agreed upon standard for being indexed -- or submitting updates for indexing -- to search engines).
There is no truly perfect scheme, only ways in which we think we can improve on the status quo by swinging the pendulum back and forth.
