I have a couple of fairly large Next.js projects, started a few years ago. One of them I was able successfully upgrade to the latest major version of Next, after going through a number of errors, deprecations, and studying the documentation. There are so many little details and rules to remember now, just like React. It's an accumulation of seemingly user-hostile design decisions for not much apparent benefit from the user's perspective. The second project is stuck with a cryptic error that prevents the production build step from completing, and after searching through GitHub issues and even going into the Next.js codebase, I'm unable to fix it. At this point, I've given up on the upgrade and searching for a different framework to rebuild the app on. It's hundreds of pages, many of them generated by dynamic URL routes, so I'm not looking forward to it. It's a huge effort just to get the application to work exactly as it did before. The upgrade experience has soured me on Next.js, I wouldn't start a new project with it. Even React I'm getting doubtful of its recent direction, and eyeing other view libraries that achieve the simplicity it used to have.
