I discarded the HTMX stuff - the rest of the framework is nicely put together. The ability to queue worker items to asynx workers as well as the ability to add CLI commands to CRUD on the DB helped get a project going in quick time.

This is how things get adopted, it's not usually overnight.

HTMX has been more than good enough all along for the applications it can help with.

I don't use HTMX, but I use Turbo (which is what htmx is based on) in Rails daily for web apps that are in production at scale. Its in my opinion the future of web development.

htmx was not based on turbo: it was based on intercooler.js, which was released in 2013. At that time only turbolinks existed.

intercooler.js was based on the jquery load() method, pjax and angular 1’s use of attributes.
