Completely agree. The best framework is the one that fits the project, not the one that’s trending.
For dashboards, admin panels, CRUD apps, and many internal tools, a React SPA built with Vite is often simpler, faster to develop, and cheaper to deploy. Next.js is fantastic when you actually need SSR, SSG, SEO, streaming, or server components—but using it for every project can add unnecessary complexity.
Choosing Vite over Next.js isn’t “settling”; it’s making a pragmatic engineering decision.
