1. My host handles a lot of security issues on the backend. I just backup a .tar file with the latest revisions on site 2. I personally prefer using WYISYWG, especially when I add images and code snippets. Having to view a markdown renderer means I have to look at two things, unless your using a partial markdown renderer instead on input side (stackedit.io, inkdrop are some examples). 3. Installing plugins in wordpress is easy. The way I do most things is fork entire repos, test it out, and see if its worth learning. This is how I approach wordpress as well, try X plugins disable them all see which works best. With jekyll you have to do install plugins / libraries yourself, I just want to get straight to writing though 4. Wordpress is just bandaid solutions everywhere for me, I only git track changes I make from a base theme (its all just CSS) 5. Wordpress's interface is awful to look at when using the editor in admin panel. But you get used to it. I'm debating in writing a quick javascript extension / userscript that I can toggle to disable all the clutter while writing 6. Had issues with wordpress HTTPS issues that sitegrounds had to fix the otherday, I still have no idea why I didn't have my SSL certificate installed 7. As much as I like opensource, I do a lot of things closedsource. Wordpress is great for me b/c I can customize it very quickly, do bandaid solution plugins and backups everywhere, and just focus on writing. I don't like reinventing the wheel or building my own tooling if I can avoid it. Jekyll has always given me build errors in a windows OS environment since its based on ruby. What I had previously is using github-pages and deploying it live to see changes. Still learning netlify. Commits were extraordinarily messy for me actually, I would have 1000+ commits and 990 of them were just minor changes to draft posts. I could probably use seperate branches but out of the box, everything went to master branch
