Agree completely. I used Next.js for many years, but I probably wouldn't choose it today. SSR adds complexity and blurs the distinctions between client and server and as a result everything is harder - especially tooling and glue code. It also doesn't help that there is a major release so often that whatever configuration you used 6 months ago is now obsolete. I really wish frontend react stacks would stabilize and provide some sanity for businesses to get on with their primary mission of not just building but also _maintaining_ products.

(I'm on the Vercel/Next.js team) Could you share specifically what configuration you found obsolete? > I really wish frontend react stacks would stabilize Did you have trouble upgrading versions? Open to feedback. We frequently hear folks who upgrade from Next.js 8 to 12 with minimal changes, for example.
