htmx is yet another one of those forty hundred humongous different frameworks.

It also uses a DSL that has no application outside of its specific corner.

It also forces you to return HTML fragments via AJAX.

By the way I did use intercooler.js (prev. iteration of htmx) intensively and while I liked it at first, it really added up to being an HTML/JS soup when other developers started extending.
