>>212371133 (OP)
I assume the only people excited about this are those who don't already know JS? E.g. devs who haven't done web dev before, maybe their background is in C/C++ or Java etc. So they think "okay I'll just write some HTML and add HTMX for interactive stuff so I don't have to learn JS"
For anyone who already knows even a little bit of JS, surely using JS makes way more sense than adding the dependency of HTMX.

It means that you can write less JS (including fewer tests), but you'll still have to write some JS to handle local state. It doesn't make sense to save everything server side, e.g. light/dark mode.
>adding the dependency of HTMX
It's not a big dependency. Check out fixi.js if you think HTMX is too heavy.
