Kinda wild that there is an entire generation of web devs for whom server side rendering is actually the new, strange thing.
Ssr is really about React. Rendering referring to HTML generation using react.
Probably the old school thing is "serving a page"
convenient. I would have liked taking a look at your apps built only using htmx

haha, good one

One advantage of htmx (along with web components and standard html+css) is that migrating to anything else is much easier than the other way around. A rewrite from an htmx app to a React app can be trivial. A rewrite from React to anything else will not be.
They migrated pretty quick to react after the acquisition due to team dynamics (offshore big teams - seeped into JS heavy client, thin server culture). htmx was a struggle there as well.
It worked amazing for us as a small team where everyone was full stack and I always build using htmx-first now. But, it is a struggle for folks who have been working in React-like patterns for 5+ years and never experienced the bless of MVC apps.
