People I know who have used Django praise it, but WordPress's ecosystem is in another league entirely.
Real-world example: I needed to build a restaurant website in as little time as possible.
A Google search for Wordpress Restaurant template gave me everything I needed (I went with one from ThemeForest).
The same search replacing Wordpress with Django doesn't return anything relevant :( (it does give me several paid ads for Wix and other site builders).
Edit: mgkimsal also has a point. It's ridiculously easy to get Wordpress up and running with most hosting providers.
Edit2: the article mentions the setup issues. Docker containers sound like a way to overcome that one, but the ecosystem barrier will remain.
- SwellJoe 10y agoDocker containers are not a way to overcome difficult installation for the kind of users deploying WordPress en masse. They're (still) often on shared hosting, in a lot of cases, using whatever control panel their host provides, and not only don't know how to use Docker, they don't have the capability to do so on the server. Even most of the folks with a VPS aren't on board the Docker hype train just yet. (Docker is cool and all, but it's not how people outside of our bleeding edge bubble are doing things, yet.)
