I recently evaluated web tech stacks and my thesis is that Next.js is the most powerful and will win in the long run, but right now it's a bit too new for most web projects -- the ones that are low-traffic, simple apps. Migrating your codebase to another version is just not that fun, and I deemed that still too common in Next.js
- reducesuffering 2y agoNext.js is already winning: https://trends.stackoverflow.co/?tags=next.js,ruby-on-rails,django,laravel https://trends.stackoverflow.co/?tags=next.js,ruby-on-rails,... There are many older codebases running those well-established frameworks, but a lot of job positions, new code, and I bet half the recent YC batch web apps, are Next.js. JSX for frontend is so much better than the other templates imo
- the_mitsuhiko 2y agoThere are trends and vibes and Next.js winning. Will it be the thing we will use in three years? Who knows, but I would not necessarily bet on it, because all those technologies eventually are replaced by something else. Next.js in particular is well known already at this point that some people are intentionally choosing not to use it (because they ran into some of the challenges at their previous company).

- meiraleal 2y agoYour thesis isn't very good. Nextjs has a huge marketing budget and that's it
