Next.js

Pros

The App Router with React Server Components lets you fetch data server-side without a separate API and the resulting bundle is much smaller+183
Incremental Static Regeneration means cached pages can be updated in the background without a full rebuild — great for content-heavy sites+168
Image optimization is built in and automatically serves WebP with responsive sizes, which is a significant performance win with zero effort+152
The ecosystem of components, guides, and examples is larger than any other framework — almost any problem you hit has a blog post solving it+138
Vercel deploys Next.js with zero configuration and the integration makes features like preview deployments and analytics trivial to enable

Cons

The App Router documentation was confusing and full of gaps at launch — many developers hit subtle bugs that weren't documented+172
Build times can be very slow on large projects — a production build taking 5+ minutes is common and slows down deployment iteration+148
Mixing server and client components has a learning curve and the rules around what can and can't be done where cause confusing errors+134
Tight coupling with Vercel means some features are designed around Vercel's infrastructure and don't self-host as cleanly+118
