About app vs pages router

Almost every new video on YT rn uses the app router instead of pages.
I was initially hesitant to switch to app because of some caching issues, but a lot of libraries rn (like clerk and supabase) have been favoring app over pages.
I'm just wondering, have the caching issues been fixed? It's the only thing holding me back anyway.

haven't read the GH issue that thoroughly but a cursory read tells me it hasn't been fixed yet, but again, not too sure

yeah they are planing on fixing that (see [linked discussion](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/54075)), but you might indeed have to wait... but i would say that app dir is better than pages in many ways (even with this caching issue)
