I've done all of the above in Hotwire. It really is a fantastic tool.

I'd rate it as about 90%-ish of what react gives you at 5-10% of the development effort. React sites can definitely be nicer, but they are so much more work.

This has been my experience as well. Hotwire is actually a more pleasant experience than React.

React is a good choice if you’ve got a huge dev team that can split things into components and independently work on things but otherwise React is so full of footguns that it’s almost comical that people choose it for anything other than bloated VC projects.

I wonder how it compares to Svelte for people. I weighed both but Svelte didn’t require me to learn Ruby (as much as I’m sure I’d enjoy it).

You can use HotWire with any language/framework you want.
