“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
