Reviewer scorecard
“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Next.js defines how modern web apps are built. Server Components and AI SDK integration make it the platform for AI web apps.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
