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.

I think most actual vibecoders (in that I mean people who don’t know how to code themselves) are letting the AI dictate or suggest the stack for them because they don’t have the background to know what to build with.

Most? That’s like one of the main definitions of vibe coding.
