This is actually something we are working on getting rid of. What separates us from other python frameworks is that we compile down to a nextjs/react app (the user never sees this though). This is really beneficial because it allows us to add any react library in a matter of hours vs other python frameworks where it can take a much longer time to add new ui feature. Also for performance and SEO nextjs is great.

But to keep it short there is a way to get rid of this in the future and we are currently working on it. So the only installation step will be `pip install pynecone-io`
