The reason I stopped using wordpress was it required constant maintenance. There are new exploits found monthly so you have to always upgrade. I needed a couple of addons to match my previously hand-coded blog as well and those plugins also needed to always be updated. Updating wp or the plugins would break stuff regularly. So, wp is not really an example of "choose-boring-technology". The point of boring tech is it works and is low maintenance. wp is not low maintenance. A static site mostly is. There's nothing to hack. No accounts. No way to "login"
