I'm good with my Vue, thanks. I hate React though. I can see htmx simplifying some things and being adopted by front-end frameworks. The same way improvements in HTML and CSS have been adopted.

Fellow Vue enjoyer! I love Vue, it's so friendly. Maintaining a complex React app feels like getting dragged behind a truck down a one way road.

(Did you like my two way data binding joke there?)

Hello sane friend! You used your joke to great effect!

Did you like my useEffect joke haha

When you say "and", do you mean together?

I love Vue, first time I've heard of AlpineJS. From my quick searching, they seem pretty similar. What advantages does one have over the other? Thanks :)

Ah, sorry, that was a bit confusing on my part. I use them entirely separate. Here are some real world examples:

Vue: new projects that will require multiple components, state management, etc.

AlpineJS: when I have a tiny project/demo that needs reactivity, or if I have an existing HTML setup that needs state management and reactivity bolted on after the fact (like an old site or something like that).
