I have a tendency to use different stuff on new projects for the sake of it. I've built apps with express + react on client, angular, vue, next, nuxt.. Used go, .net, node, php etc on the server. I always find good and bad parts and appreciate different aspects of different solutions.

Not Next though. We built a pretty large app on Next and it was painful from start to finish. Every part of it was either weird, slow, cumbersome or completely insane.

We still maintain the app and it is the only "thing" I hate with a passion at this point. I understand that the ecosystem is pretty good and people seem to be happy with the results given that it is extremely popular. But my own experience has been negative beyond redemption. It's weird.
