One thing I hated about Wordpress is the ecosystem around it. Everything was money money money. Coming from React/JS development, you get used to resources being out there. Need a solution for X? Well you will most likely find a free and OSS solution. With WP it seems that the smallest of add-ons cost money. Even for stuff that is open source elsewhere, the authors have re-packaged it into a subscription service. My other major gripe is the community. With almost any other platform you can find answers to questions pretty easy. With Wordpress over half the articles I found to issues were blatant SEO spam. Paragraph, paragraph, paragraph, tiny nugget of not useful info, BUY MY ADDON TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR GOOD! Often times I came across thread where a person would post: "Oh I know how to fix this, but please buy my consulting services to learn the answer".
