I think an opinionated stance is in general a good thing when it comes to open source project. I just worry that contrarianism in frontend development is being conflated with contrarianism in general programming. The former being the intention of the project that I support (yay hypermedia!), and the latter most likely not being the goal.

Maybe the sanding will help, and if HTMX is not going to change much then maybe not much is needed, but I think there's still a way to go to stability and feature completeness.

Thanks for the link, I'll definitely give this a watch!



i'm pretty contrarian in programming as well, so it tracks:

htmx is feature complete (see the article)

we can argue about stability, but we have lots of happy users
