HTMX relying on a server request to make even minor UI changes (e.g. their first example https://htmx.org/examples/click-to-edit/) is wild to me.

You might remember when a thing called DHTML revolutionized how JavaScript could be used to build interactive UIs on the web... why go back to pre-2001 era?

I get it, SPAs are overkill, but swinging the pendulum all the way back is very strange.
