Next.js by Vercel is the dominant React framework with Server Components, Server Actions, App Router, and optimized deployment. The default choice for React applications.
Reviewer scorecard
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“Interesting concept but the execution isn't there yet. Give it 6 months.”
“Next.js defines how modern web apps are built. Server Components and AI SDK integration make it the platform for AI web apps.”
