On the contrary, making easy things easy and hard things possible is about as good of a value proposition as I can realistically expect. Hard things are going to be hard no matter what, and making them easy usually either adds excessive complexity or else makes easy things hard (if not impossible).

Making easy things easy and hard things possible is great, I agree...but that's not what I wrote. And I don't think that's what HTMX provides - it mostly gets in your way with the hard things.

Making hard things hard is a subset of making hard things possible. Better than making hard things impossible, which is the usual result of making easy things easy :)

And yet they're still possible. Like I said: hard things are going to be hard no matter what. Even if the hard things are harder, that's still a worthwhile tradeoff for maximizing the easy things.
