We're migrating our apps from Vue.js to HTMX, and it has been a great experience. The size of our codebase has consistently gone down as we move things to HTMX, and it feels like the level of complexity goes down as well.

I highly recommend using HTMX.

If possible: Can you say how much of the code reduction is based on not needing to manually handle bespoke request behavior? (errors, transitions, animations, etc.)

Also: How much has the backend's responsibility in pre-rendering grown in response to the move to HTMX?

What kind of apps? I used Intercooler (sort of a predecessor to HTMX) for a personal project and it worked well but I didn't get a good feel for what it would be like to build more complicated UI.

I don't think UI is part of HTMX's concerns. It is a library for submitting data and loading HTML fragments. For general UI components, I like https://shoelace.style/.

Would you be open to sharing your experience on this a bit more ? We have a JS heavy app with 100s of VueJS components. Could those be transferred to HTMX ?

We are planning to do the same thing. Would you have any write up that you could share?
