Vercel is the primary driver of react SSR / server components, which has also led to an explosion of complexity in react and has made it less useful as a composable library imo.

The last truly useful react feature for me was error boundaries in React 16 (2017?) and I think hooks was react 16 too?

These days if I need ui components for an existing SSR app I just use web components or lightweight libs like mithril.



Mithril rocks. I’ve been blissfully ignoring the new hotness for years.

It also alienated a huge part of the userbase that decided to move away from React.


How is lowering bundle size not a useful feature? Being able to render something once at build time instead of shipping it to users is great.
