Been using a lot of Remix lately.

Pros:

  • Strong ecosystem as it is tightly integrated with React
  • Progressive enhancement is at the forefront
  • Extremely fast bundling with ESBuild
  • SSR means its very fast
  • Uses the platform so you learn a lot about native APIs
  • Does not require Javascript

Cons:

  • Still early into the development cycle so it's still being actively worked on
  • The ecosystem isn't as big as lets say something like Next.js so googling for issues can be difficult. However the Discord is active
  • The documentation is still being quite actively updated and could be better with providing examples
  • Very extendable, can feel overwhelming
