This seems to be totally another approach. More like an opinionated setup where you can get a project set up and ready in a few line of codes.

Very interesting approach!

What are the pros and the cons? Someone that has used both should help us here.

I've used both and prefer next.js. Granted I'm using GraphQL but I'd prefer it regardless.

RBP is actually more opinionated. It's "best* practices to the extreme" at the cost of productivity and lots of boilerplate. It's also a little hostile towards server-side rendering.

I enjoyed RBP and learned from it, but we switched to next.js (with styled-components and apollo-client) and things have been far smoother. To be honest I can't really think of a reason to use RBP over Next.js.

The creator @mxstbr has tweeted positively about Next.js, has other projects to look after (e.g. styled-components), and hasn't updated it since January, so I'm not sure RBP has much of a future anyway.
