As someone who does a lot of basic PHP development and makes various sites with WordPress, I think the key point people seem to forget in this debate is that most projects are simple by nature, at least on a technical level. I mean sure, making a WordPress site with themes and plugins is not as complicated as coding a web app in Node.js or whatever, but the majority of business sites don't really need much in the way of complexity. Just a few pages that the client can add content to and maybe a blog on the site that might send the content to social media sites upon being posted. In those cases, why not use WordPress or another simple CMS system? On another note, this is also kind of the reason I haven't really gotten the chance to use much in the way of the latest or fanciest technology. Because every idea I get turns out to be one that doesn't need it.
