I think that even if a server returns HTML, on the client-side we'd typically like to retain the flexibility to style/restyle/rearrange elements it to fit the current layout. The same response could be used in multiple places with different styles.

What other client-side UI frameworks do you recommend? I'm liking what I'm seeing with HTMX due to its small size and simplicity.

with htmx you can send out of band content down that will be swapped in by id:

you can also select content by a selector:

https://htmx.org/attributes/hx-select/

and there is infrastructure for general response transformations via the extensions mechanism:
