I really don't understand why the outcry even exists. It's recommended for a reason and whining about how SPAs still exists misses that no one ever said that it doesn't. The only thing people are mad about is that Vite didn't make the list but that's understandable because I could never tell the new React developers we just hired to do this project by themselves with Vite. But with Next.js (or whatever else on the list) it was a matter of "File here, this URL, your React component here. Don't think about SSR I'll take care of it if we need it."
And it just works. Even too good because they run into issues so rarely that I forget that they make so much progress and we're already on our 3rd project with it. And they literally started coding 5 months ago.
And if you care about what's going on under the hood, guess what? You're one Bing chat away from finding Vite and a few commands to have it running locally. Want SSR now too? Guess again, you are already setup to do exactly that in a way more ergonomic way than the low level Vite plugin (which I like, but I would never be able to hand-off to other developers)
