Honest question: how is htmx/svelte/alpine any different than other trends? Could it just be that you prefer this particular spot in the trend cycle?

I think that’s parent comments point. They like that the trends are swinging from complexity to simplicity.

But that was the line that noSQL advocates were pushing. You don't need this big complex relational database, just make everything simple JSON and call it good.

Then it turned out that data actually is just complicated, and managing that complexity is off and easier with a relational database.

Sometimes simplicity can be an illusion.
