Please explain how it's "not the right comparison".

The parent listed static site generators including Gatsby, Hugo, and Jekyll. I suggested NextJS is a superior option to those 3, because (among many other things) it supports "export" of a fully static, pre-rendered site, which puts it -- unambiguously! -- in the "JAMstack SSG tools" category. So I'm baffled by the downvotes, and your dismissal.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

PS Edit to add: NextJS is even listed, as the 1st result, in the parent's jamstack link!

Thanks, @aendruk -- ok, that issue is a legit reason for some people, in some cases, to prefer a dedicated SSG-only tool over NextJS. But it's not a reason to leave NextJS off the list altogether.
