Hey that's short selling them, they also managed to make HTTP middleware not work like you'd expect in nextjs which has some arcane advantage when hosted on Vercel.
Indeed; I remember watching one of their tech sessions around the Next.js 12 to 13 release and then watching a Microsoft one. One was very clearly a marketing ad.
We shortly ditched Next.js afterwards because of how janky the whole DX was the entire time and how much worse it was during the transition.
Now I'm back in a Next.js 15 project and it's amazing that the DX somehow feels even worse!

They introduce a lot of shiny half-baked features while abandoning old ones.
