Oh, I completely agree with you. The vast VAST majority of sites don’t need that level of client side state management.

I’m currently working on a bio-informatics data modelling web app where htmx would not have been the right choice. But it’s in that 1-5% where that is the case. That’s kind of my point.

Outside of that project, I’m all in on the the HTMX model of server side rendered fragments.
