it really depends on your application, for a site like Rails, Django yes htmx makes sense.

One of the key complaints from the blog is GraphQL (too may requests wasted), in that case, SSR might make sense as well.

Other cases, e.g. a normal RESTful backend, or a JSON-RPC backend, or the API-based services, SPA fits well IMO. Sometimes you don't do full-stack, i.e. you don't control the backend and all you have is the API, sometimes you want to make backend simple(just spit out data), a lot of low-end devices can not even do heavy duty SSR(embedded devices), all these cases a SPA makes sense to me.

For me React and Angular are harder to learn than Vue, and I don't do enterprise complex SPA anyways, my choice is Vue when SPA is the right choice.
