I'll never get over how convoluted it felt to make a modal appear on the screen, using the "blessed" Next.js way. You need parallel routes, slots, intercepting routes, file names that look like the blast radius of a shell script gone wrong with names containing (..)s, [slugs], and @slots, and special-purpose file names like page.ts, index.ts, default.ts, some stuff auto-magically passed in as props. It's like they're trying to take ideas from something like Rails without having ever even used Rails, and then pervert those ideas. I know I sound overly critical perhaps, and maybe I'm being too harsh, but it just feels like there's this bizarre appreciation or worship of arcane complexity by Next devs. And any simplicity and straightforward-ness is shunned and frowned upon. Like simplicity is somehow beneath them, and simplicity is only for stupid plebs like myself. I haven't used Remix, but their docs suggest it's simpler.
