I'm curious about your thoughts on that locality of behavior idea vs aspects of precision and composability. For example, the argument goes that the behavior of `hx-get` is obvious upon inspection, but the terseness is achieved by omitting the event type (i.e. it's assumed/implied that hx-get runs on click). The quintessential widget where that breaks down is the table w/ checkboxes for batch operations over an arbitrary subset of rows. That's where less DSL-ish frameworks' abstraction via state management tend to shine, since they allow the developer to more precisely specify how disparate checkboxes relate to a bigger picture that may also involve table sorting (both client and server varieties) or nested modal structures or other forms of complexity.
