I'd love to hear more about what motivated the switch. All the additions to react-router are, afaict, opt-in. React-router has 3 "modes"[0] and the declarative mode seems pretty much exactly what the classic library is like with some extra components/features you don't have to use

Thought I've enjoyed the code-splitting and access to SPA/SSR/SSG/etc strategies that come with the "framework" mode

I'm using the React Router v7 in framework mode, fetching data directly from the database in server-side components. So far, it works reasonably well as long as we avoid mixing server code with client components. However, although it offers the convenience of writing frontend and backend code together, the mental burden added by this approach makes me feel it is not worth it more and more often.

Yep, declarative mode is what I use, tried the data mode with loaders and it never really agreed with me as a pattern.
