after having used both: sortablejs is better than reactdnd.

that being said: htmx makes it too hard to quickly add a fat frontend to a page when necessary. The points about the react ecosystem are very valid, even if drag and drop is an exception. The network effects of react and others are hard to beat. Its probably even more npm as a whole than just react.

wrote myself a framework with bun that solves this for me: https://github.com/spirobel/mininext

still get the pure html+css feeling like with htmx, but can throw in a big frontend when needed.
