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!
