The article is right. .NET is way ahead of anything in the front end world. But that’s because the front end world is crap. React Server Components, the new great idea on the primary front end framework is recreating ASP.Net Web Forms. Badly. At least Web Forms was fully statically typed and provided easy embedding of simple JS instead of having to convert everything to the “React Way”. HTMX sounds great and is very good in many ways until you realize it’s little more than a desperate cry to go back 15 years in front end programming because front end development has become such a shit show over the past decade+. Pretty much everything in modern front end development is reversing whatever was done over the past decade and a half because pretty much everything done over the past decade and a half was done to compensate for all the problems with browsers. Now that browsers are becoming decent programming runtimes, and internet speeds and latencies have improved, you don’t need stuff like jquery to compensate for every browser doing things differently, or the virtual dom to compensate for awful DOM performance, or Lodash to compensate for terrible JS engine performance, etc.
