I'm mixed on HTMX for going a step beyond interactive forms, it's fine... but much more and I find HTMX and server-side Blazor for that matter really janky... button events with a round trip to the server can just feel wrong.

FWIW, also hated the old ASP.Net Webforms round trips (and omg massive event state on anything resembling dialup or less than a few mbps in the early 00's).

I just wish that React and other SPA devs kept some awareness of total payload sizes... I'm more tolerant than most, but you start crossing over/into MB of compressed JS, it's too much. Then that starts getting janky.
