Oops, you're absolutely right. The frontend ecosystem is quite complex, and the entry barrier for engineers working in other roles is getting a little higher every day. Perhaps by default, Vite should be used, and Remix or Next.js alternatives should be shown for advanced frontend developers. Thank you so much; we will definitely improve this area.

Something else people may want to consider is the community health. Vite, Remix and Next.js are all extremely healthy, but Next.js is currently in a league of its own. You can see the community information for all three at:

https://devboard.gitsense.com/vitejs/vite

https://devboard.gitsense.com/remix-run/remix

https://devboard.gitsense.com/vercel/next.js

The only other project that I've seen with greater engagement than next.js on GitHub is Microsoft's vscode.

Full Disclosure: This is my tool.
