I understand this is a Vercel framework and probably a great distribution channel for new business and increasing overall revenue. But, I'm a bit disappointed the "next" version is more about Vercel's own internal business agenda. Promoted as amazing "DX" is not really true. It had a better DX compared to the other tools, that's why it grew so popular, but not seeing anything real DX related in version "10". Other tools are starting to do things a bit better.
Analytics, great idea, is a huge disappointment. It's just a Vercel thing and not NextJS, not to mention a "pro/enterprise" paid feature, not cheap either.
A few days ago I saw the YT videos of "future of Svelte" and that video was really about "DX" with no non-sense no BS that just focused on the real next evolution on web/app dev. That DX really resonated with me.
My opinion, I'm not sold on NextJS 10, the "commercial" move kind of turned me off and scares me of platform lock-in, but I'm getting more and more interested into Svelte (v4?) and I'm seriously looking to switch to it from NextJS.
Note: "DX" stands for "Developer eXperience", meaning how joyful, easy it is to get started with the tool and feeling productive.
