Remix is backed by Shopify, compared to Next.js being backed by Vercel. Does this influence any decision to take?
Today Next.js has a big advantage which is that they have already integrated most of the new React 19 rendering features and apis. I think it will take a while for Remix to catch up to that.
Other notable frameworks are community led Waku made by Daishi Kato from Pmdrs and TanStart made by Tanner from Tanstack.
Also there's Redwood.js betting on a more integrated experience.
Today I am using Nextjs because I don't think I can go back to not using RSCs, but when Remix catches up or Waku and TanStart get to v1, I sure will give them a serious try!
Shopify "backing it" means less to me than the maintainers themselves. The Remix maintainers are straight shooters and have been maintaining open source consistently for over a decade now.

I also just like their API and design decisions.
This makes me distrust it (slightly more than I distrust Next/Vercel).
Shopify's core business is not in making javascript frameworks. Remix is always one bad Shopify away from being ejected.
