Astro with Svelte is a good time.
HTMX is good when you *don't actually need* a full-blown SPA. It's not just for "simple projects", it is built around a different philosophy than things like React/Vue/Svelte.
I've been using Svelte since 2019 and so happy about it. One thing people don't understand when it comes to "ecosystem" is another one of those React-things. "Advantages" in a context where an advantage was never needed in the first place doesn't count. React might have a bigger ecosystem, but Svelte doesn't need it. This is because there's so little boilerplate for anything you need, it only takes a few minutes to essentially make your own.
sveltes magic is in the compiler. way less boilerplate, reactive by default. but smaller ecosystem means you might be building stuff from scratch more often.
I really don’t understand why you’d ever use React over Svelte on a new project.

Previous clients were happy with small Angular/Vue apps, and I enjoyed the great DX from tools like Vite, Docker, and Swagger APIs
So no React, jQuery, Vue, whatever, but actually build an understanding for what's happening and then you can dive deeper as you want.
I had workeräd.with both angular and Vue before this - and many other utility frameworks.
HTMX is good when you *don't actually need* a full-blown SPA. It's not just for "simple projects", it is built around a different philosophy than things like React/Vue/Svelte.
the main tradeoff is you can't do the ultra-smooth offline-first stuff that react/vue excel at.
