If I'm understanding correctly, seems like this is back to the old days when routes mapped directly to pages. From experience with ASP, it is not a good thing.

If I'm understanding correctly, seems like this is back to the old days when routes mapped directly to pages. From experience with ASP, it is not a good thing. You need to separate the routing from the presentation ala MVC. I can see the benefit if next.js is intended to be create-react-app++.
