Heya all! the question is basically straighfoward. Im curious to any reasons of why i just wouldnt want to use next as a framework in a webapp im making. The pages will likely be highly interactive with frequent updates, so i plan to render most things to reduce server load and maintenence costs, at least in the beginning of this project. Though im curious of what tools next might have still allowing me to optimize over just using base react. For example, ive heard mention of Next being able to increase SEO through the root page using SSR, despite the rest of the site being primarily composed of CSR pages. If anyone else has any further tips or suggestions, i would greatly appreciate it!

SEO is one good thing. Another one is the DX. When developing in react while working with data I need to use and handle react query (or swr) a lot to control my data. In next I can instantly use the advantage of SSR and don't need to worry about security vulnabilities
