You are right about it being the PHP of front end development - great analogy.
- mgkimsal 10y agoIt was an early player, and there's inertia, but beyond that... why did it have so many plugins and themes for it early? because it was easy to get started. and... forgot to mention - the entire thing looks decent out of the box. not great, but it's decent - every element is styled consistently, and looks far better than most people (especially devs) trying to roll their own UI/theme/colors.
- blowski 10y agoI agree with you completely. It's good enough and its competitors don't show enough real world features to overcome that inertia.
