Agree with your take. > A hybrid approach is necessary. This is "the islands" approach, as advocated by Astro, for example: https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/ https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/ This approach is consistent with htmx and friends, and we're using it on an htmx project with simple vanilla JS for the pieces of interactivity. For small and medium projects and a small team, this can be enough, and it's a breath of fresh air to be able open up dev tools, point to part of a page, and understand everything there just by looking at the html and small snips of JS.
