Anyone sharing the disappointment with NextJS, please have a second look at https://www.meteor.com/ again. It is much more powerful in terms of backend/frontend communication and reactivity, and even though there was a huge downturn some years ago, its picking up steam again. Importantly: it has been around for roughly a decade now and in most cases "just works", and you can even pick the frontend lib you like (react/vue/svelte/...) or swap it later on, so no _hard_ coupling to react. I blogged about it a while ago (https://anonyfox.com/blog/the-renaissance-of-meteor-js/) and things are getting even better now. There are still rough edges, but central points like SSR that "just works" with "useTracker" is there.
