Had a hard time using MANY existing React ui components from various packages. I guess it is fast but the work involved in trying to build anything more interactive is not worth it just to shape 2-3-10ms. I can't find a plus for using this over something like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) for example.

Every time I returned to my Hugo project it felt like I had to learn everything all over again.

With Astro it is just components. I am used to those. The cognitive load is much lower.

I use Go programming and Hugo template is natural for building simple sites, it get harder to maintain complex interactivity and components over time, Astro give you more control on client-side Javascript if performance is your goals.

This video release late but might be useful for introduction to Astro.
