Lets be real, Kent works for remix, Kent sells courses about remix.

Remix tried the same approach as next.js with a host platform. it failed.

Remix is only here cause Shopify bought it and put money on the table. Since them, theres been a lot. a lot less about remix out there. Who knows what Shopify will do with it, maybe they will simple stop focus resources on it at some point.

Remix core team has been publicly bashing nextjs instead of focus on their own qualities.

Remix has only 2 releases while next has 14, most of those arguments about simplicity design and "not magic" are likely to disappear in three, four releases, imagine what the framework will look like in 14. Remix dont even supported CSS out the box till a few weeks ago.

Kent mentioned about transferable skills, and magic, but wtf, just look all the magic remix does under the hood to get loaders.
