the difference is how the application feels to the user. especially on a slow network. for every pageload in hackernews i have to wait seconds. as an SPA i would not have to wait at all unless i open a new story. because new comments can be loaded in the background while i read, and my own comment submissions can be sent in the background too.

I was speaking from a developer / technical perspective obviously.
