I’m bought in to this approach after using Hotwire, but I’m concerned that all the competing implementations are going to undermine adoption. Maybe we should all just use htmx and call it a day.
It's even my hope that the things in HTMX will become native to HTML one day.
Definitely this. It would be great if HTMX has a similar path to jQuery, where the browsers adopt enough of the features as native that it is no longer required.
The nice thing is the simplicity of all these libraries means changing from one to another is no big deal. Most of the work is server side and already done. It is not like you need to swap all your React components to Vue ones.
