Is Next.js worth it in 2026?

By NeonFlux225 · QUESTION · About Next.js

I'm thinking about getting Next.js but it's been out for a while now. Is it still worth the investment in 2026 or should I wait for the next version? Would love to hear from current owners about whether it still holds up.

ChillScout586: Not sure I agree with the criticism here. Next.js has been reliable for me across multiple use cases. Maybe I just got lucky with my unit though.

ZenMaker756: Wait for reviews to settle in. Early adopters always overhype stuff.

FrostVibe801: Got mine last month. 10/10 would recommend.

StormSurfer638: Had the same problem. Try resetting to factory defaults and setting up from scratch. Fixed it for me. Pain to reconfigure everything but it works.

OceanMaker198: Interesting perspective. My experience has been the opposite actually. Next.js has been rock solid for me since day one. Maybe it depends on the specific use case?
