Strengths & trade-offs

Where it shines

Full-stack in one repo: routing, SSR/ISR, API routes and image optimization included
Huge ecosystem and hiring pool; Vercel deploys are near-zero-config
App Router + React Server Components cut client JavaScript dramatically

Watch out for

App Router caching rules have a steep learning curve and changed repeatedly across versions
Vercel-centric defaults can feel awkward on self-hosted or non-Vercel platforms
Build times grow quickly on very large apps

Editorial assessment — verify against your own requirements before committing.
