As someone who has been developing websites for 15+ years and who stumbled across HTMX a year or two ago, I want to add a couple things here: One really really nice thing about HTMX is how easy it is to "spruce up" a UI. You say "this part of my website could really do with some active content" and you start thinking about xmlHttpRequest and callbacks and and JSON and all that and you think "does it really need sprucing?". But with HTMX it's usually just adding a couple hx- attributes and maybe a couple serverside lines and you're done. Another really really nice thing about HTMX is how easy it makes it to make things degrade gracefully. Javascript enabled? Get your beautiful ajax. No Javascript? Get a good experience in the "traditional" model. In anything else I've ever seen, if you want that experience, you need to write your UI twice (and usually in two different languages / models). So basically it drastically lowers the bar for making nicer experiences on top of a solid MPA. Especially if you're a solo developer, this basically means that you end up producing better UIs "for free".
