May I ask why? React starts there, but it will probably survive Meta. Its a great framework, IMO.
- sharker8 3y agoI like Next.js
- 0xblinq 3y agoNext.js would be great if it weren't because of all the conflict of interests that make it have artificial limitations and the shady "features" it has and it were not driven by a marketing company. For me it is an absolute no.
- tyleregeto 3y agoBeing owned by Meta (or Facebook at the time) was a selling feature for me when settling on it. The main reason being that they use it heavily internally, and have a vested interest in its success as a result. They've built it to meet their needs, dogfood features internally, and feel the same pain as everyone else when it comes to breaking changes and backwards compatibility. This gave me a lot of confidence in React compared to other frameworks at the time I was evaluating it. It turned out to be a great choice now 8+ years later, and I feel the same way today.
