React Owns the Frontend: 926 Jobs But Next.js Is the Real Winner

React has won the framework war, but the real adoption is happening in meta-frameworks like Next.js

Why it matters

React meta-frameworks are the real trend.

Evidence

  • 2.190 vagas React (3,8% de 57.513 total)(jobs)
  • 280 repos React trending no GitHub. Next.js: 504 repos trending(tech_trends)

Limitations
