I'm professionally mostly in Django and my front end skills have been left to rot for a decade - your comments about Webpack, Vite etc. ring very true. I recently looked into replacing Webpack on a project with something less painfully slow, failed to get Vite working so tried Parcel which is supposed to be idiot proof. I guess I'm more even more idiotic than that.
As for HTMX, I've been playing with that on an evening / weekend project and absolutely love it. Getting it working with Django was maybe very slightly harder than with other backend frameworks as Django doesn't have great support for template fragments. Once I'd sorted that though, I had a decent interactive UI on top of my app very quickly, all while being completely new to HTMX. I can imagine being incredibly productive with it with a bit more learning / use.
