I've been saying for years that everyone should put much more consideration into using anything that Vercel has its hands in, such as React, Next, and Svelte. Their goal is to lock people in the same way Heroku did, but even more aggressively by tying people to their full stack solutions from the language to the runtime to the machines. Not that they're the only company to be weary of. I recently found out that Cloudflare's CLI tool for development and deployment only supports macOS 13.5+, which is less than two years old. I couldn't track down why exactly, but it's a sad state of affairs when two years is considered obsolete. In fairness, you can still use an older version of wrangler, but it's a previous major version. Documentation and features are misaligned, and will only get worse. They could also break compatibility with it on their end in the future. Meanwhile, new versions of other tools like vim, neovim, emacs, llvm, etc. all still work fine on OS X. I'd argue it's because they have no incentive to lock people in.
