I dont have xp with livewire, but htmx has been really powerful and expressive for what I want to do with my Django app. By comparison, I also work in a typescript/nextjs codebase, which dumps a whole plethora of unnecessary side concerns on the developer, preventing them from actually focusing on application logic and the external problem to be solved
Htmx has been such a breath of fresh air by comparison, because i just need to worry about request/response patterns. It is orders of magnitude easier to reason about htmx, versus nextjs’s frustratingly inscrutable code patterns.
“Ability to be reasoned about” is far more important to me as a developer using any technology, than almost anything else, including purported performance benefits that many react-based frameworks claim to have
