The key difference is, #vikejs is an addition to your web server, while nextjs/solid-start feel like an entirely separate "UI" program.

And web server is a solved problem. Reinventing the web server (and its plugins) also means you have to reinvent auth, logging, sessions, etc.

The 2000s style web development was just (sql + html template).

Now we replace the templating with jsx, and everything else still works.

No cryptic API routing syntax, no standalone server, no "server components" weirdness. Just `html = render(Component, data)`.

Vike The Modular Framework — Next.js & Nuxt alternative for unprecedented flexibility and stability.
