It's the end, but it would have died anyway. While WordPress's success is amazing, it's still a pile of PHP that requires constant diligence to keep it running

  > I use it myself for a simple corporate blog, because it's so widely supported and everything else sucks even worse.... So how is it the end if everything else sucks? Maybe they are stumbling here with Gutenberg (I haven't tried it or even researched it much), but it seems far from the end. I still don't expect anything to overtake WP. A big reason is that too many agencies rely on it at this point, they aren't going to want to switch to anything else. Also for lower budget clients, pitching anything other than WP is a hard sell these days, as an increasing amount of non tech-savvy users are familiar with it.

  Are you not able to use a static site gernerator? Or do non technical people need to update it?
