I never used Remix, why is it worth it investing in Remix?

  It's just an optimization to make your react pages load faster.

  Having used both, if you already know NextJS well then I wouldn't bother switching to Remix. If you want some of the Remixy API-niceness in NextJS land then you can use tRPC (for example, there are probably other options). Nothing against Remix, I do like it, it just isn't differentiated enough from NextJS to both switching for me - yet, at least.

    And what about if you've not used either framework before but would like to try one? Which one would you recommend?

      For work: NextJS, because Remix's future is now a little less clear. Also, there's 10x the help and documentation for NextJS. NextJS is where the mindshare is, for better or worse. For fun: Whichever appeals to you :)

  With the recent updates to Next there isn't enough differentiation between the two IMO. Given that Next has huge buy-in from the JS ecosystem, choosing Next is a better bet. If Next had come out with their new updates a few months ago then I wouldn't have picked Remix. I don't regret using Remix as I just wanted React Router + easy SSR, but it's also because of this that it wasn't very differentiated.
