Hi, my 2nd post here.

Having worked on some stateful component rendering infrastructure my self in the past, I have concluded to appreciate of an architecture that uses a protocol to communicate with the client, similar to what the Eclipse guys have done with RAP. The advantage of such an architecture is that you decouple the server side layer for the details of the client implementation. Essentialy the server side becomes independent of technologies either low level like HTML/CSS/JS or high level like Bootstrap. Also this opens possibilities for all kinds of different clients like native Android or iOS consuming the same back end.

Since you are working on a revamped version 4 I would like to throw in this IMO interesting perspective. Here are some links for further reading if you are interested:
