Mullenweg is right. Wordpress is a great content management system. From a content writer's perspective, it is perhaps the best way to write and publish content. And it does offer a simple, integrated solution.
But Biilmann is also right. The Javascript world (React, Vue, the npm ecosystem, ES6/7+), modularized services like Stripe, Algolia, etc, plus eg Git, have passed the Wordpress development ecosystem by.
Wordpress needs a bridge to modern development, so people can get the best of both worlds. That's how we see Gatsby, so we built a source plugin to import content, built Gatsby Cloud to do live content previews, created incremental builds to match the instant content go-live experience.
There's a great quote from Jason Bahl, the maintainer of WPGraphQL, on this: "I don’t see Jamstack competing against WordPress. This isn’t a zero sum game. If the Gatsby + WordPress experience can allow users to use the best CMS in the world while using modern dev tooling, it’s a win all around.”

- claudiulodro 6y agoThis bridge already exists. The latest versions of the WordPress post editor are built almost entirely in React. Why do you think Facebook backed down from the BSD+Patents React license scheme they were trying a couple years ago? Because of pressure from WordPress!
