I agreed with most of your comment but this almost triggered me:

> React and Next with RSC aren't a bad choice. Web development just isn't as simplistic as people on HN seem to think it is.

Yes it fucking is. I've been doing it for 15+ years and most of the complexity added since about 10 years ago is not required. Many times they're actually regressions.

The web is complex because we made it so.

This is a perfect example where they could write their own docs generator with MUCH less complexity. You read a damn json/yaml file and make HTML out of it. Style it with CSS and you're finished. It's as maintainable as it gets.

Now let's look at running `yarn install` in this project a year from now and see how easy it's going to be to maintain it.

Odds are NextJS will be 5 versions behind and with 500 vulnerabilities found in the dependency graph.



You are of course right. But probably they got VC cash and some guy said, do it in React bla bla whatever the cost…
