That's an interesting point, Aaron.  And it's true that I use my API's to dynamically generate HTML.  And if we're seeing a shift from using server side technology to generate HTML.  That kind-of makes the server-side technology obsolete.  Or does it?

Microsoft invested a ton in creating UI widgets that render as HTML on the server.  Same with vendors of JSF tooling.  Now we're seeing a shift to JavaScript frameworks that render themselves as DOM objects.  No HTML is generated.
