There’s a post on htmx.org about why htmx wasn’t the right fit for a particular project (which is dope, we need more websites that admit their thing might not be the right thing all the time).

It’s worth noting that AI tools are intimately familiar with Next.js and not so much with htmx, due to the lack of open-source training data. This is similar to the issue Rails faces. While not a dealbreaker, it did impact our development speed and the ease of finding solutions to problems. When we encountered issues, the wealth of resources available for React/Next.js made troubleshooting much faster.

That’s an interesting phenomenon: a big part of tool choice is popularity because it shapes your experience finding support. The more popular the tool, the more probable your question has already been answered.

“How to get started with Next.js” likely has tons of search results — and therefore, one can assume, a large set of training data to inform the LLM’s answer.
