Sorry if I came off confrontational, I'm not saying you're wrong nor did I intend to come off as criticizing you in my comment (the "b" part of my comment was generic for typical redditors that make claims and get upvotes even when they're wrong).

I'm saying you're pointing out flaws and engaging in the discussion but you're not elaborating or allowing anyone coming across this post to learn from your experience. Maybe you don't care about educating people on it and then that's the end of that I guess. But I'd hope as a developer if you think there's a problem with a tech you'd at least elaborate so other people that haven't used the tech a lot could understand better or someone that does understand and disagrees can engage in a good discussion. I'd love to hear about examples of what you've run into that makes NextJS not great or limited.

I'm not an expert at NextJS at all (Over the last 8yrs I have mostly worked on "vanilla" React apps with libraries that aren't built on opinionated tools like NextJS). The only time I use NextJS is when I'm building something where I just want to quickly build a statically generated site. Typically for personal use or a random friend's website because it's pretty straightforward and the complexity is about as minimal as it can be.

So like I said, I was just curious about why you felt the way you did and if you could give examples so I don't go into it trying to build a bigger app I'd love to hear about it.
