That might have been me before last Xmas, as we had to convert an established Silverlight app to HTML5. The coolest thing at the time was Angular (or JS insert-name-here) so I asked for development quotes and did a lot of playing around and study on the subject. I was so shocked by what I found that we have abandoned the planned rewrite using JS because it's like coding into a minefield. I have summarised my opinion of the whole "Web" in general in my blog post I'm in the future of the Web and it doesn't work <https://gfkeogh.blogspot.com.au/2018/02/im-in-future-of-web-and-it-doesnt-work.html>. I expect some people could have blazing arguments over what I've said. On a happier note though ... I'm also following WebAssembly and Blazor keenly and I'm praying for rapid development to bring it up to the point where our familiar languages and tools can be used to create and deploy modern apps with ease. All the big names seem to be behind this endeavour, so let's hope that JavaScript's grave is already being dug. I haven't personally used any of the stuff yet because of the number of warnings on the web sites about how immature it is at the moment. *Greg K*
