Next.js comes with several built-in capabilities.
For example, it supports prefetching, server-side caching, and even cache clustering if you need scalability.
It also has a significant market share right now.
Of course, React Router 7 (and Remix) can handle similar features.
But adoption matters — a larger ecosystem usually means better job opportunities and stronger community support.
If you haven’t used any major framework yet, I’d recommend starting with Next.js.
It’s a solid way to learn the modern React stack and understand how full-stack React apps are structured.
