> I also am baffled by the return to server side rendering as the new thing. It’s like people forgot that’s how it used to be.
People want that back, but they also like React, and their existing component libraries, and they want to generate the backend pages with React. It's not that strange.
And you can (I think) pretty seamlessly have part of the page rendered on the server, and parts still function on the client.
Is it because these devs can only do React and nothing else, so we will shoehorn everything into it?
I mean, more power to them, if they want to do it and have 10x the complexity and take 10x longer than learning and using normal, already available tools.
To clarify, I mean other server side tools that have been available a long time and had bugs ironed out. React Server stuff just came out recently, and still has a long way to go i guess.
