I wanted to check out Factor a couple of weeks ago and got stuck on the installation step, an error about it using esmodules for lodash if I remember correctly. The docs were behind an authwall and there was a forum full of spam and one thread with the same issue 4 months old and one reply 2 months old by a user who had the same issue and no resolution. All in all that was a poor experience for me. Granted, it was under development but it doesn’t seem like there was much community at the time and no clear development path either. I checked the site again after your comment and it seems they’ve launched now so I’ll check again, although I’m mostly interested in a headless CMS which isn’t what Factor is trying to be.

As for Next, I’ve played around with it and I liked the built-in support for Head, Image and Link. The SSR and lazy loading is amazing and should be the default for every tool, I hate that CRA does not support this out of the box. I was surprised when I tried to export my test and I couldn’t find an output folder though, and even more surprised and disappointed when I found you had to do `next build && next export` which immediately threw an error because the default loading behaviour of the Image component relies on Vercel hosting to work.

Better than Nuxt? I've never heard of Factor, and checking now, but can't (superficially) grok the differences
