Astro

Pros

The default output is static HTML with zero JavaScript unless you explicitly add interactive components — pages are fast by default+176
Islands architecture lets you use React, Vue, or Svelte components side by side in the same project without committing to one framework+163
Content Collections with TypeScript validation for Markdown files is the cleanest content management DX for developer blogs and docs+148
Build output is genuinely tiny — a blog or marketing site built in Astro will score higher on Core Web Vitals than any SPA alternative+134
The zero-JS default approach means great SEO out of the box without any configuration or SSR tricks+119

Remix

Pros

Nested routes with per-route data loading and error boundaries are the best model for building complex UIs with proper loading states+167
Built on web standards — Fetch, FormData, and Response — which means skills transfer to other platforms and the code is more portable+152
Progressive enhancement is built into the framework — forms work without JavaScript and hydration happens on top, not instead+138
Error handling with per-route error boundaries means a broken section of your app doesn't crash the entire page+117

Cons

The mental model for data loading, actions, and the form-based mutation pattern takes longer to internalize than Next.js conventions+143
Community size is significantly smaller than Next.js and finding Remix-specific examples for complex scenarios takes more digging+119
Hosting options are more limited — Remix works best on platforms that support long-running servers rather than pure serverless+94
