Long arguments here about whether HTMX or React or something else can qualify as idiomatic HTML. But the truth is, HTML itself does so very little that it’s barely useful as a starting point for building applications. Arguing about idiomatic HTML in this context is like arguing about how to write a scientific paper in idiomatic toddler language. One faction thinks you should stick to monosyllabic words. Another believes drawings of colorful balloons are key. Both are held back by the fundamental assumption.
