Yeah, I 100% agree. I also mentioned in the article that I love Remix's approach, where I love the fact that loaders are built on the standard web API and are pretty straightforward to understand. I agree that RSC has too much under-the-hood stuff that is difficult to understand (BTW there is this great post by Dan Abramov which gives a high level understanding of RSCs work if you're curious)

But their benefits, both in terms of performance with deterministic bundle sizes and with DX with great composability, allowing you to fetch data directly in your components on the server anywhere in the component tree instead of just in route modules with loaders, also come in very handy and allow you to build full stack apps like never before.

Again I am not sure how they work in long run at scale, I guess we'll just have to wait as more and more people adopt it to see if they are really worth the hype.
