The article talks about the vast majority of the program logic running on the users PC, rather than the backend. "front-end driven" is just another term that means thick/fat/rich client just as the author of that article points out. Although he is trying to differentiate it from that by saying it's slightly different then a thick/fat/rich client in that it requires NO custom back-end. The problem is, there has to be a back-end somewhere that is serving up data. But the authors distinction is that "What is new is not owning the backend at all". I'm sorry, at this point this article is just idiotic, I'm the custodian of my data, it isn't available anywhere but my own backend server.
So no, it's the complete opposite of 5250 interactions where everything happens on the "server" rather than the client (users pc).

Does this sound like a resurgence of 5250/System I Access-style to anyone else?
