What aspects of the developer experience does Next.js provide, and how does it compare to other languages in delivering those features?

I'm not sure if I've looked closely enough at that lately to see what that looks like. Next.js in my view is clearly an outstanding tool to work with. In the visibility that I have into the industry, Next.js just seems to be continuing to grow, with more and more developers starting to understand how nice it is to work with.

Certainly if you're using Next.js, it's a natural fit to deploy to Vercel. If you're working with other technologies and you're thinking about deploying to Vercel completely exclusive of Next.js, I've experimented with that but never done anything serious. It's been a couple years since I've done that, so I'm not really sure what that looks like right now.
