Mostly great, there is a lack of native Rust frontend tooling outside of Leptos/Dioxus for templated websites, such as static file handling and bundling. Previously, I used vite for this on a templated nodejs website.

But I am working on a simple web bundler crate similar to vite to alleviate that (check out the htmx discord!). It's missing the HMR part for assets that can be hot reloaded (it just refreshes your browser), but this will improve things quite a bit for anyone making templated SSR Rust sites.

Otherwise, the backend ecosystem is really fantastic in Rust, not much to complain about. Axum is great, and I'm using cornucopia for SQL. Having the type safety is a killer feature.
