People comparing Alpine to React, Vue, Svelte, etc. are missing the point. Not everything has to be a SPA.

There are so many Reacts devs out there that now blogs and landing pages are fully rendered client-side. With a backend only used for its API. Instead of simply sending HTML.

Alpine is great for the simple dropdowns, navigation drawers, etc. The things we used jQuery for before we started to do everything in JS.

I still love writing SPAs but I'll stick to boring HTML with JS sparkled whenever I can.
