As much as I don't like most things about nextjs (I could write a vastly larger blogpost about it but won't as I like to keep my heartrate down), it feels like claude was trained specifically for it. In our experience, claude code is better at nextjs than other frameworks.
That seems like the most unfortunate of reasons to choose it as a framework for new projects, though. I hope that doesn't become the deciding factor in the future.
Yes, we try not to do that. But I know very many people do.
Significantly better than just React and a Node backend? I doubt it, what's the comparison here?
