   @rem I just switched a few projects over to Astro for this exact reason. I was really surprised by how nice it was. I guess I’d just acclimated to Next and internalized all the maintenance costs, and just missed the broader point in the industry when “mostly static, some server side stuff” tooling got easier

     Observation: I absolutely wouldn't build a long term project using Nextjs without having full time development resource able to perpetually support the project.

     Why? The API surface changes way too much and often.

     A project like JS Bin, 16 years old, would have required constant support ALL of the time to keep it running.

     Instead, it used express, which is a relatively "basic" pattern, but the complexity hasn't changed.

     I enjoy Next for quick and dirty, but decade+… I don't think so.
