I’ve felt that way many times on other frameworks and abstractions
I personally find Next.js to be a simplicity (and this article to be contrived and overcomplicated)
What I personally like:
The React router system is greatly simplified with all scaffolding removed in favor of a Link tag more similar to html’s a tag
Folder structure based API system that has no vendor locking, just standardization to what REST best practices already are, instead of relying on everyone having that discipline
Ability to deviate for other network communication paradigms if its important
some other things, but really it just simplifies what many of us already learned to do, and thats what most languages and frameworks do for the time period they were released in.
