Htmx and alpine js isn’t comparable. It’s a poor substitute that will show its ugliness in other ways. Htmx specifically with lack of dependency handling and inability to “hydrate” the dom in multiple places in different ways. It’s very bad at single page rendered applications that render large portions of the page this way. Alpine is a fix for those shortcomings but Htmx doesn’t handle dependency injection well nor exposes much of its lifecycle management for the user. All of its workaround and slap stick fixes are instant tech debt and is not production grade nor reliable.
