Thoughts on Remix 3

Remix v3 represents a significant departure from React's complexity by ditching the React runtime entirely while keeping JSX. Instead of React's declarative state management, it uses imperative updates with `this.update()` and closure-captured variables. The framework doubles down on Web Platform APIs (Request, Response, FormData) for backend portability, replaces file-based routing with TypeScript-defined routes, and uses HTML as wire format between client and server. This shift reflects growing frustration with React Server Components, the React Compiler, and Next.js complexity, offering a simpler alternative that's easier for both developers and LLMs to understand.
