I have immensely enjoyed and benefited from using htmx for the past 18 months on projects with Clojure as the backend language. I had done years of full-stack Angular then React on the front-end and Java Rest endpoints on the back-end with teams of all sizes.

htmx has been a revelation and has really opened my eyes to the nuances of hypermedia development modalities that I was ignorant of. For me, it has become very clear that htmx and hypermedia development is far more simple, productive, beneficial, and FUN for 90% of web dev use cases. I feel huge disappointment how unnecessarily web development evolved into bad client server rpc json protocol for basically everything web.

Kudos to the htxm creator and his vision of what should have been. My experience absolutely corroborates his thinking on these things.
