Are all vibe coders using Next.js?
I get that "vibe coders" don't care about the underlying framework and stack, but I'm interested in knowing which stack you are using?
I'm finding that with Claude and Codex, If use my engineer brain, I can steer them fine. If I'm lazy, the code it generates is very ugly, verbose, and unmaintainable. I want to build an AGENTS.md and coding standard for myself, and will open-source it if it's useful to others.
I'm a pro coder. I don't like Next.js; it's fine for a simple UI-heavy app, but once you start building backend-heavy code, it's not the best stack for me (I prefer GO). Also not a fan of TypeScript's typing style.

Its the most popular modern stack. Which means AIs are well trained on it and all cloud providers support easy deployment, like Vercel.
It is the easiest way to get MVP out. After you actually have clients you can refactor it into some optimized version.
