#92I never used Remix, why is it worth it investing in Remix?
Having used both, if you already know NextJS well then I wouldn't bother switching to Remix. If you want some of the Remixy API-niceness in NextJS land then you can use tRPC (for example, there are probably other options).
Nothing against Remix, I do like it, it just isn't differentiated enough from NextJS to both switching for me - yet, at least.

#94How does remix compare to nextjs?
Remix looks like a standard server rendered web framework (like Rails or Django) except that is use React for its template language, and React has the advantage of running interactively on the client-side.
NextJS pre-generates (or generates on a trigger) most its pages. Like Remix it also uses React as its template language and client-side interactivity.

#95This is huge. Remix is my favorite React framework at the moment. It is by far the best abstraction I've seen of client/server model. Their API abstraction layer is just right, working with native browser and nodejs APIs, not obscure them. Typescript support is amazing. I'd bet my money on Remix model and direction vs Nextjs
Vercel already ate Remix’s lunch.
While it may seem that way there’s still plenty of market share on the table. Add vercel’s increasing coupling to its deployment system for best features, others will always welcome more agnostic approaches.

Wait, isn't React a js framework? Is Remix a framework over a framework?
React is a library. Remix is a framework.

I was surprised how calm the remix developers reactions to the next 13 announcement were given how similar some of the new next features are. But now it makes sense! Upcoming acquisition on the horizon.

#98Is Shopify shifting away from Rails?
Probably not, but going where the market is in terms of business. Majority of their headless support is for react so investing in the stack allows them to expand and dictate that future. (Ancedata: did headless Shopify with ember and was aggravated in how piss poor their js support was in relation to React until their dev team told the data).

#99I'll stick to NextJS. Remix seemed fishy from the very start.
To me, Remix seemed like a very lightweight reimagining of what Next excelled at (server side react with nice frontend integration). It was exciting to see how quickly it handled dynamic renders when running from a Cloudflare worker. But now that Next 13 has layouts/server components, I prefer Next.js' approach due to all the other performance work they've done with images, fonts, css, etc.
One thing about Remix that always confused me was the very close ties to react router. It seemed like a distinct and unrelated concept to me, and the continued association seemed like a distraction from Remix's potential to be a stronger competitor to NextJS in the long run

#100Is Shopify shifting away from Rails?
Shopify has a nice GraphQL API that can be used to build JS frontends: https://github.com/Shopify/quilt/tree/main/packages/react-gr...
I imagine that paired with Remix it'd be easy and fun to build shops. It doesn't have to replace rails in that regard.
