Comments about HTMX vs. React keep popping up, but I think they miss the point and it's probably a "marketing" problem on HTMX side if people feel the need to write these.
On the contrary, Unpoly -which shares similarities with HTMX but is probably more high level- makes it very clear on its front page:
Progressive enhancement for HTML
Get powerful new HTML attributes to build dynamic UI on the server.
Works with any language. Gracefully degrades without JavaScript.
Granted, HTMX has "high power tools for HTML" right on its front page, but it also has "reduced code base sizes by 67% when compared with react".
Anyway, as always, tools ad trade-offs...
