I'm a WordPress guy but don't really understand Matt's post here. He doesn't like how Wix is trying to gain market share. Ok, fine. And? So what. Lots of companies market themselves in ways that some people don't like. Wix is a good solution for some people. WP is a good solution for some people. Weebly and Shopigy and Web.com and AEM and Google Pages and and and an can be good for different people. If Matt (and the WP community) don't like how Wix markets itself then don't use the service. I do know, however, that the WP community is talking about Wix a lot in the last couple days, more than they ever have before. (Also, enjoy the headphones b/c I promise Matt isn't sending you any)

Wix isn't a good solution for anyone. I had experience with Wix websites before I knew what Wix was. Think local mom-n-pops or small-time one-person businesses who want a webpage. It didn't take more than one or two visits to such sites for me to auto-close any site that comes up as a Wix-created site. It's slow, ugly, and just an all around terrible experience. It all made sense once I discovered that Wix is a "no code" "solution" to basic web page development and not (just) a shop of poorly paid third-worlders half-assing it for crumbs. The quality of output is similar, for similar reasons (you get what you pay for).
