> It's incredibly easy to build a theme or plugin for and the deployment pipeline is pretty darn simple I disagree, I found writing custom auth and theme to be nightmarish compared to other frameworks and CMSs because the codebase is so poorly documented and illogically structured.

Having subsequently played with some other CMSs/frameworks like October (based on Laravel) and Django, wordpress looks somewhat inexcusably bad.
