Reviewer scorecard
“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“Next.js defines how modern web apps are built. Server Components and AI SDK integration make it the platform for AI web apps.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
