I brought it into an aging ~12-year-old system to add a bit of SPA-like functionality to some pages. It works wonderfully with those classic MVC-style web sites.

I can highly recommend it for giving older, jQuery-era sites a new lease of life. I dropped in the CDN built into the view files, tweaked some of the controllers to return content outside of their usual template layouts based on a hx-request header, and I was away.

Didn't have to mess with bundlers and compilers. It was refreshing!

I'm in this boat. Using HTMX to modernize legacy apps. Works a treat and saves loads of money vs rewrite in $NewHotness.
Outside HN bubble, jQuery is quite an active project.
