The main thing I find with articles that are anti-React is that they are saying React is bad when all you need is a pretty simple site with some dynamic elements. That's 100% true, it never hasn't been true, and any react evangelical will tell you the same thing.

I would love to hear this authors take on if they would choose HTMX for a web app that is constrained to be highly-interactive, with multiple contributors/teams, and a dynamic user interface that requires heaps of internal state.

I would assume the counter-argument would be, "something like that should not be on the web!", but unfortunately we are in a world where that is what customers expect for certain classes of application.
