I am guessing the world moved to React because the developer community in general does not feel the same way.

No they moved to Reactjs because it was evangelized as the only framework available. There are plenty of people who hate reactjs, don’t worry.

As a react hater, I share DHH's opinion that React was driven by ZIRP. So many giant, slow, react apps out there that are super slow to develop with. IMO HTMX is a 10x dev time reducer over React.
