Exactly the same thing happen to me: https://www.reddit.com/r/htmx/s/DuXyGgsCWK

I'm in an advisor position, and I tried very hard to mentor the team, explaining that learning this technology deepens your understanding of the browser. Whereas React etc isolates you from the actual environment you're working in - the browser.

On html/template, I like the security by default, and obviously it's built-in. But the dynamicness leaves too many open-ended questions unanswered. Templ is great, but the ergonomics leaves many things to be desired. After writing a few large production applications in it. I decided to create gsx: https://github.com/gsxhq/gsx

I've worked with developers that don't even understand that the "form" tag exists and browser can send a request without any javascript. At some point in the early 2010's, perhaps even before, fundamental understanding disappeared. This makes it difficult to introduce alternative technologies like HTMX into a larger project.

yeah with tools like HTMX - your environment shapes you.

if your teams is less than 3 people - you've less politics to fight. & chances are people are already capable - no resume padding. so you choose what's pragmatic & that choice ends up being HTMX.

for big teams - politics takes over. even though HTMX will be beneficial - might as well go with the 'safer' political choice which doesn't cause much contention ie one of the big JS frameworks.

I have also noticed teams don't seem to "get" htmx.

It is an unbelievably good tool though, and LLM's understand it very well (given some encouragement).
