Vercel did a great job on onboarding for more junior developers, and its a great place to start a project.
- Near instant Git deploys with links for each deployment
- Really easy to setup templates with "Deploy with Vercel" deeplinks
- Easy to setup web framework that works seamlessly with the platform
- All the add you need as your app grows (and yes, some you probably don't)
Once you're on its a pain to switch so its easy to stay on, so that's why so many people just continue.
If you liked Rails convention over configuration, you will likely appreciate Vercel. The only issue IMO is the full stack JS/TS approach. The JS ecosystem can be, let's just say, tough to navigate sometimes :)
