> In my opinion, most websites should be using htmx

In my opinion, in five years no one uses htmx, but another shiny toy. Hence, how about not starting to use it at all?

Hi, author here. The full quote is: "In my opinion, most websites should be using htmx for either:", and then I list two cases where I think htmx is appropriate.

In context, it's clear that I'm not saying "everyone should use htmx," but rather "if you are using htmx, here is how I recommend you do it."

As for the shiny object concern, I have a talk (which you can also find on this blog) called "Building the Hundred-Year Web Service", that dives into that question.
