This levels concept resonates with me: https://www.lorenstew.art/blog/progressive-complexity-manife...
There are cases where you need more than htmx / datastar, but i like the explicit calling out of when these boundaries occur (e.g. you've exceeded what "islands" can give you), and i like the gravitational pull to lower levels.
The limitations of HTMX are not the same as the limitations of Datastar. Datastar is a whole other beast with only a few at most vestigial similarities to HTMX.
You can't do virtual scroll over a billion checkboxes in HTMX (I've yet to see anyone manage in react for that matter either), yet you can do it easily in Datastar. [1]
