Pros / Cons | Server vs client vs hybrid rendering in mobile first web apps

So this question is kinda directed at Wendell but open for everyones opinions, where in your opinion should the rendering in mobile first web applications be located. Also why in your opinion and todays tek climate should we be using such an approach.

I really like the idea of server side rendering first, then moving it to the client side if conditions allow. The complexity of the application skyrockets with this approach and you basically end up building the same app twice, maybe ReactJS can solve some of these issues???

Bad, low powered server = Client

Medium / Low powered server with lotz o' clients = Hybrid

High powered server = Server side.

 

I use server side mainly because I like supporting the clients with limited resources

up to you though.
