Yes I just migrated from Jekyll to NextJS.
I agree it’s a terrible idea if you just want a blog. My motivation was to improve my web dev skills and have a low stakes playground to try stuff, since I’m using Next on most of my projects.
However, it is nice that if I ever want some quirky feature on my personal site, the world is my oyster. That may have been true for Jekyll but I don’t know Ruby well.
