I think it makes a lot of sense for Vercel to push RSC and all the complexity of new Next. - They sell compute / bandwidth. You can not make a lot of money if people are building SPAs that load from a CDN and execute on client. - SSR kind of gives them some server compute but as soon as the initial page is loaded, we are back to point 1. - Here comes RSC then. And they pushed hard. Made it look like the best thing ever. Oh the initial load time is the most important metric. You gotta make sure you hit this score on whatever benchmark thing… - They also kind of acquired React. It is basically Vercel’s now so they can dictate the development direction. - All this with almost no benefit to developers (compared to something like pre app dir next) but likely helps them a lot in terms of revenue. I mean this might read like “vercel evil” post but it is what corps do and they seem to do it well. I used next on a project recently and will not touch it again because the hype did not materialize as any type of gains during our own development.
