I'm for people creating things they want to use. I also have a negative, possibly unfounded reaction to the stated purposes of htmx:

>Why should only <a> and <form> be able to make HTTP requests?

>Why should only click & submit events trigger them?

>Why should only GET & POST methods be available?

>Why should you only be able to replace the entire screen?

>By removing these arbitrary constraints, htmx completes HTML as a hypertext"

I guess people do all of these things with javascript anyways but it gave me a "get off my lawn" reaction when I read these bullets.
