"Coming from the Flex world, we had to manually manage the communication between frontend and backend. Because of that, sometimes a backend change would break things. Now Vaadin takes care of the communication. Automating it and taking away that layer has been a huge advantage in giving stability. It would be hard to go back to some other framework, with all the other headaches of developing HTML and JS."

The code base itself reflected the design patterns, and once the design pattern for a screen was identified, it meant developers were empowered to rapidly create the foundations for each new screen."
