My 2023 Pick: React Server Components
Eleven years ago, React reimagined web development by challenging established practices. Now, React is doing this again with RSC.
P.S. Shout out to the Next.js team for pushing this new vision forward.

Link to sectionLibraries Retention vs Usage
Among libraries and frameworks, Next.js was the only item boasting both high retention and high usage. On the other hand, while even more respondents had used Create React App, a lot fewer were willing to keep using it going forward.
This chart shows each technology's satisfaction ratio (or interest ratio) over its total user count. It can be divided into four quadrants:
ASSESS: Low usage, high satisfaction. Technologies worth keeping an eye on.
ADOPT: High usage, high satisfaction. Safe technologies to adopt.
AVOID: Low usage, low satisfaction. Technologies probably best avoided currently.
ANALYZE: High usage, low satisfaction. Reassess these technologies if you're currently using them.
