The common case for wordpress hasn't been just blogging for quite some time now. The common case is brochure sites for businesses. I wouldn't be surprised to find that writing a simple blog post is actually the rare use case these days.
- at-fates-hands 8y agoThis is the Achilles heel of Wordpress. WP is now getting a a TON of competition from static site generators, and companies like Netlify. Headless CMS' and Jamstack are the future for these types of sites and people are coming off of Drupal and Wordpress in huge numbers. As their numbers have shrunk, they've had to make drastic changes. I haven't been seriously involved in the WP community for about five years, but I've heard rumblings within the community about moving to a modern stack that includes ReactJS or VueJS for a while now. At the very least they're trying to maintain their position and modernize WP to appease some of the critics and vocal members of their community.
- jononor 8y agoAgreed on that. Bloggers have left for hosted solutions, Medium and the like. But still most small business content editing is predominantly basic text and images, so editing experience needs to be tailored for that.
