Is V0 Really Worth the Hype?
After hearing all the buzz about V0, I was eager to try it out. But after spending time with it, I can’t help but wonder if it’s more trouble than it’s worth. While it has potential, the flaws are hard to ignore, and for many developers, it might just end up being more frustrating than helpful.
The Problems
Let’s start with the code it generates. While some claim it’s “clean,” I found it still needs significant manual tweaking to be production-ready—especially when it comes to responsiveness. If you’re building designs for smaller screens, be ready to spend a lot of time fixing what it outputs. Isn’t the point of a tool like this to save time?
Then there’s the limited scope. Unless you’re working in Tailwind or Next.js, V0 doesn’t really shine. Developers using other frameworks might find it borderline useless.
And let’s not forget the prompts. V0’s output is only as good as your ability to craft perfect instructions. If your prompts are even slightly off, the results can be mediocre at best. It feels more like a trial-and-error process than a smooth workflow.
Is It Actually Useful?
For very specific use cases, V0 work, but for anything outside its niche, it’s a hassle. I found myself spending more time fixing and tweaking than I would have coding from scratch.
So, is V0 really worth the hype? I’m not convinced. But I’d love to hear from others—what’s your experience? Has V0 been a game-changer for you, or do you feel the same frustrations I do?
