Not willing to be the party pooper, but isn't htmx's appeal the simplicity of it?

I would expect it to be "done", or maybe could be refined with a couple more little things, but definitely not needing full-time dedication on making a version 2.0 or adding new features.

Aren't we going to end up with a new react?

i certainly hope not

the 2.0 would drop IE support, remove the older SSE and WebSocket support, and switch a couple of defaults (e.g, using template wrapping for parsing partial content, which handles troublesome elements like table rows better, but isn't available in IE) so it would be a breaking change (not for most folks, but still, breaking for some) which I only like to do w/ major versions.

we may have one major addition: a morph swap based on idiomorph:

https://github.com/bigskysoftware/idiomorph/

i'm on the fence on that one: it is currently available as an extension and maybe doesn't belong in the core, still thinking about it

so, in comparison with most libraries, 2.0 is going to be very minor
