Tired of people calling Remix "flavor of the week". It's been acquired by Shopify, is actively being iterated on and is by no means another JS flavor of the week. I think it's proven itself in that sense so far.

Having worked for several years at a startup on rails, I can really confidently say the DX experience with Remix is no match..

I don't understand people in this thread complaining about niche complicated stuff when at the end of the day.. it's all just javascript, there's no magic..

The amount of abstractions, opinions, and siloed "you kinda just have to know that's the way it works" sort of knowledge that come with working with Rails is far beyond that of working with Remix. Would be curious to know how much time folks here have actually spent building with Remix. It's just good, give it a try.

Personally, I've learned a lot from Kent. I think his content is mostly quite good, I also don't find him to be someone who's sole mission is to make money and sell his product like a lot of folks in this thread have claimed. He gives a lot, for free, and contributes a lot.
