Remix v3: how, why, and what for?

Not too long ago, Remix essentially ceased to exist as a standalone framework, having fully merged into React Router. However, the creators of Remix have already announced a new version that promises to be nothing short of revolutionary. They’re moving away from React (embracing Preact instead), aiming for zero dependencies, and most notably — once again setting out to radically reshape the world of web development.

While it’s still too early to discuss the structure of Remix v3 in detail, we’ll try to make sense of the current rumors, social media posts, and interviews to explore:

- Who felt the need to “reinvent web development” — is this truly necessary, or just another round of hype?

- What are the core ideas behind this project, and what’s my take on them?

- And most importantly — is this going to be "the same Remix" in a new wrapper, or more like the leap from AngularJS to Angular: familiar in name only?
