# React survey shows TanStack gains, doubts over server components

**[DEVCLASS](https://daily.dev/sources/devclass)** · 3 min read · 108 upvotes · 2 comments

## Summary

The 2025 State of React survey by Devographics, with over 3,700 respondents, reveals growing enthusiasm for TanStack while Next.js faces criticism over complexity and Vercel vendor lock-in. TanStack Query enjoys 68% usage and strong positive sentiment, while TanStack Start is gaining traction despite being in release candidate phase. React Server Components remain controversial, with many developers skeptical about server-side React. The React Compiler is well-received, with 62% expressing enthusiasm. AI-assisted coding is seen as a factor that could further entrench React's dominance as the default UI framework.
