I wont dispute the benefits to vertical integration, but I still think there is benefit into keeping things modular as well. I've been working on an application for the past five years that's stayed afloat partially because keeping things small and not becoming over reliant on any one library.

Regarding the link, I most likely wouldn't consider routing and bundling to be in that list. Sever integration currently doesn't apply to me, since our app is one of the cases where CSR makes more sense.
