Please explain how the inefficiencies and bloat you see in HTMX actually matter. Do they significantly slow down the site or make HTMX too complicated to use?
But to entertain your argument: it's 1,604 lines of code in a single file 1 with zero dependencies. If there's something you don't need, you could just remove that code yourself. That's how simple it is. Try doing that with a common JS framework like React, Vue, or Angular.

  1. How much "bloat" can there be in less than 2,000 lines? ↩

Unpkg cuts the code at 1600 lines, the full source is actually 5000+ lines.
There is no point in judging quality and efficiency by counting the lines of code... a 10 line code can be slower and more inefficient than a 1000 lines code, what matters is what the code does.
React, vue and angular are also zero dependency. There is also a lightweight version of vue .
It looks like you sing praises to htmx only because it is a less known outsider than the other frameworks that everyone uses, but it is really no different, and you often don't need a js framework. That's my point.

Wow, I'm wasting my time replying to you. You now write this and you didn't even explain why what you said before matters:

I will just refer you to #980353.
