I'm the creator of Reactivated[1] and fully agree with a lot of the aversion to SPAs [2] and REST [3][4]

But to me, writing my markup in JSX (really, TSX with TypeScript) and using scoped CSS solutions was too good to pass up. I just couldn't bear writing text-based templates.

That's why I built Reactivated: combining the best of both worlds. Server-rendered, simple markup — albeit still in TypeScript — but you can add interactivity as needed.

Of course, HTMX is far less opinionated and framework-agnostic. So it can be used with any number of libraries / stacks.
