If the choice is between using HTML in JS (e.g. JSX) vs using JS in HTML (essentially, that's what HTMX is), my choice is unequivocally the former. Ignoring some very basic use cases, UI apps are all about state and interactivity. HTMX can somewhat handle interactivity (very awkwardly in my opinion), it offers nothing over React in terms of state management.
