> WordPress could more accurately be described as three goblins in a trenchcoat, masquerading as a "framework". It runs practically 50% of the web now. From gigantic sites like Reuters to CNN. That sounds pretty legit as a framework to me. > But the moment youre building an app, all that cms and legacy style code stuff becomes an anchor around your neck. They don't. You never have to worry about that 'legacy' style code, cms, and actually practically anything. WP prioritizes backwards compatibility over anything else. So instead of jumping through the hoops of another framework's breaking updates, you can concentrate on your own app. Thinking of WP as 'a web framework as a service' is a much better way to describe it. Not even a 'framework'.
