So does that mean they are investing back greatly into WordPress to improve their core product experience?

  Every day! We have 198 people working on product for WP.com and as part of our Five for the Future commitment have 100 full-time people dedicated to core and community. There are a lot more FTEs in volunteer hours across Automattic being contributed as well. If you haven't checked out WP in a while, look at the latest releases and what's happening with Gutenberg. You can now do things fully in the editor and with patterns that you used to need to custom code or plugins for. WordPress is my first love. (I even have a WordPress ring I wear sometimes!)

    Hey Matt! Thanks for the reply! Nice to meet you, I’m Brandon:) That is awesome to hear that you have so many devs dedicated to the project, and that you are still so deeply invested into WordPress. Thank you for everything you have done and created, and most of us probably wouldn’t be here without your software at some point or another in their life. Thanks for all you do, and keep up the great work of empowering creators everywhere!

    You know, I think I realized what happened to WordPress. You sold me on that everything was gravy, but not once did you ask me, the user, for any feedback on how you might improve your product. Thank you again for everything you have done for the developer community, and thanks for some great content the blog :) https://www.elegantframework.com/blog https://www.elegantframework.com/blog Cheers!
