Data point of one; I am new to next.js and tried both new and old ways. Decided on new way since it's slightly less worse than old way and it's the new way forward. After a few weeks, I've decided to dump it and just go with Vite. I can sprinkle SSR on top of it w/ plugin if needed. Much faster, much simpler DX, much smaller build output. I regret choosing Next.js and regret the decision to use it believing it's at least a good/decent choice based on popularity and default choice for most people.
