This is a very helpful view on things. It definitely seems like evolution is taking place. Many of the new solutions are a mixture of other solutions with a certain aspect being the most important.

NextJs, Remix, RedwoodJs are all its own solution in adding what the creators feel are missing from React in terms of server side functionality.

Eventually there will be a clearer picture of which tool to use for various tasks like internal tools, eCommerce, B2B or cross platform applications.

The problem usually isn't the next layer of abstraction. NextJs and Remix are just fine (I don't have experience with RedwoodJs). The issue is that developers tend to put "Here be dragons!" in their mental map of whatever is two levels down the abstraction chain from where they live.

When those layers are small additions, people end up not understanding (or even fearing) components of their stack that are quite close to the surface. It's hard to do quality software engineering when you can't reason about the foundation of what you're building.

But if you lived through the process of adding new layers or if you take the time to learn more layers of your stack, you'll be able to make the most of the tradeoffs inherent to adding the latest framework or library.

They say the only two ways in business to make money are bundling and unbundling. This is surprisingly applicable to software frameworks as well.
