> There was weird split where Hyper was the de facto http library, but the best web framework was actix-web which wasn't based on hyper.

actix-web, like hyper, is built on tokio, so I'm not sure why you see this as a weird split. The underlying HTTP server is not something you generally interact with. actix-web even _uses_ hyper (the h2 crate) for HTTP2.

For me the weird part was when I needed to use an http client within my http server and I was pushed towards actix-http rather than reqwest.
