It's fun to hate popular things, and it's fun to think about how you would do it better if you could do it from scratch, but these things persist because users deem the cost of switching to outweigh the benefits. Being able to find a solution or a plugin or a theme for almost anything because everyone uses WordPress is a benefit.
There are instantly deployable containers everywhere.
All of the criticisms of WordPress are valid, but they just underscore how valuable its "community" is.

- namaria 4y agoNo, dude, it's systems. You know, our professional concern? Does only violence matter to you?
