What do you prefer?

HTML, the language on the server
I prefer not to use JavaScript unless forced to do so. It's burdensome and almost always unnecessarily complicates the stack. With the rise of tools such as Turbo[1] and HTMX[2] the need for JS frameworks like React and Angular are greatly reduced, to the point that they are (almost?) unnecessary.

I'd always prefer React for when you have dedicated Front-end developers but for small go projects, gomponents with its htmx add-on does wonders.
We've been using the Dioxus library for Rust at my company and it's worked well. There's other Rust WASM web UI frameworks as well.

That's worse than using plain JS.
How so?
Uhhhh, HTML?
