I wanted to use Hotwire but it felt like it was made for Rails as backend? This probably needs to be fixed because if the DX is as good as you say then its disservice to be tied to Rails.
Which leads to the appeal of HTMX. It promises no other dependence. It just does exactly what it advertised. I'm not sure whether your issues were due to implementation or specific known bugs in HTMX not covered.
I am curious to know more about Hotwire, I'm just worried about state management and this is greatly overlooked when it comes to adding application logic beyond just hydration of specific components on page.
So far I have not seen anything that competes with Sveltekit.
