Are you confused about Astro? It follows the same model.

Good that you say that. I believe the model is more important here than the implementation detail, framework or language of choice.

Plus, I think Astro wins over Next in terms of documentation and the general developer experience.

Next has the bad vibes, unfortunately because of all Vercel thing. At least for me. I believe if Next would position itself somewhere like Astro, people would be more open to learn and dig it. I don‘t exactly know if it‘s 100% true, but I feel like if I invest my time in Next, I will be locked-in by the Vercel world of things. And no one likes that.

  • Well, maybe “the same” is an exaggeration because Astro islands don’t nest very well. That’s what RSC fixes.

    RSC isn’t tied to Next, and Next isn’t tied to Vercel. I hear you about the vibes but thankfully that’s not my problem. I’m just trying to explain the model.
