Astro

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

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

Cons

Interactive app-like features (auth flows, user dashboards) are awkward to build because the framework is optimized for content sites+142
Component hydration has edge cases where partial hydration doesn't behave as expected and debugging the island boundaries is confusing+118
Smaller community than Next.js means fewer third-party plugins and less community support on specific integration problems+93
