Adopter Reactions

@Alpine_JS is now the new official admin JS library of ContentBox 5 Modular CMS! We will be transitioning to this amazing library in the coming versions!

I have to say that #AlpineJS is a very good replacement for #jQuery. Feels more like a modern framework, and is readable within the HTML. Amazing!
