I wonder if the author has tried TypeRocket? The WP devs I know who use it tell me that it improves things so much it should just be the default. https://typer

  WordPress is in a weird place right now as the PHP community has matured into MVC+ for some time now... WordPress core... not so much. Tools like TypeRocket are a must-have to seasoned WP devs. But, if something like TypeRocket was added into WP core, I believe, the plugin ecosystem of WP would greatly improve moving forward. These frameworks not only add MVC into WP but they also provide a common interface to create plugins. These common interfaces can be a simple as input fields with model binding but also extends to interactive HTML tables with model binding and OOP and autoloading and dependency injection and IOC and so much more. I get that WP is trying to move toward JS and Guten-Blocks at the moment but the neglect of MVC and adding a common interface causes me to wonder what WP is really trying to do. It seems like an easy win to add something like TypeRocket to WP core. And, the benefits: a proper layer of security built into forms, unified design athstetic in the WP admin, plugin interoperability, huge reduction in code bloat and plugin hell, and the list continues.
