why do people have to bring up Automattic in this thread? i don't use wordpress but i appreciated it for being an open source software. if you don't like wordpress, there are a lot of open/close source CMS out there.
Wix's negative attack campaign which confused people and really speak about it self should be the focus here?
why you even attack an open source software? source code is there for you to review and play with. if you don't like it or it doesn't work for you then move on.
i just don't understand the point of attacking an open source software. it feel like Microsoft attacking linux back then.
- gremlinsinc 6y agoI hate wordpress, mostly from my days doing tech support for blue host (the worst hosting companies belong to their parent group eig Google for a list btw).... Also because so many plugins have huge security flaws and laravel is much better if building from scratch... And is my bread and butter.... Wordpress just isn't that elegant and it's old and outdated.... That said I'd never ever use wix and I'll never buy from someone who does. It's just not professional. I probably would think twice about Weebly to having had to support it at eig, but I guess they're not as bad as wix which is like the lowest of low. I mean wordpress or shopify at least have a feel of professionalism, but knowing wix isn't exportable I'd immediately recommend everyone get off and never go anywhere near them. I respect automatic and Matt, can't say the same for wix. Wp is a lot better community and better for business than wix ever could be. I think a good business might be creating some sort of wix exporter that uses browser apis to login, copy out data and format it in presentable ways for other platforms.
