I'm in two minds on what to use for my own portfolio site when I finally resurrect it. I've pretty much decided on a static site generator over a dynamic CMS but I quite fancy writing my own so it works just as I want it. Trouble is I keep rethinking that "just as I want it" is... I may just hand-craft version 1 to put an end to that particular source of procrastination.
But yes, one of the significant main reasons for avoiding WP and its ilk is the allure of plugins and the work needed to verify what they are up to. If I'm going to have to make my own parts to avoid the things I don't want, I might as well create from scratch anyway.

Their motives change or are revealed (once enough customers are locked in they switch to evil mode), or they are acquired by profit-hungry capitalists devoid of ethics, or simply abandoned and then compromised etc.
