I can only second this. Next just works with minimal (or in fact no) config. And their documentation is great.

Bonus: Next's built-in API support makes building quick APIs for your project (and its static/hybrid/dynamic) data loading a breeze. While not suited for everything, at the very least, Next and Airtable can get your POC/MVC/prototype running in a day.

The few times I tried to build something in Gatsby I was bogged down in mediocre documentation and a mountain of (maybe?) necessary plugins. I don't know.

Not sure how to feel about Gatsby's GraphQL-first approach either.
