"I’ve come to the realization that this much client-side processing and decoupling is detrimental to both the speed of development, and application performance"
While Fuchs is a credit to the early JS community, he's been railing against larger JS frameworks (including jQuery) for the better part of 4 years.
He hasn't been proven right in practice. His approach of 100% server side generation may work well for some apps, but the clear trend is client side apps, with shared REST apis between mobile and web.
Client devices are powerful, why do everything on the server? Let the server be the data store, and the UI rendering work on the client. Makes more sense, and is going to happen no matter how much Fuchs and his followers wish against it.
