To me, a backend heavy developer, HTMX is the frontend framework I like to use because:
- It does not feel like a JavaScript framework at all, but more like an extension of the HTTP/HTML model
- It allows me to write interfaces that feel responsive and modern to users while still doing all the heavy lifting in my backend with the tools I’m used to
- It works with my mental model, which is heavily based on the request-response cycle
