I get it, i had used a half dozen blogging platforms before switching to wordpress in the early 2000s and beyond the ease of creating a new site, the ui felt very crowded with tons of menus I didn’t need or care about initially. Yes it relatively simple and everything one needs but I get it can be intimidating and feel bloated if you just want a simple blog. The menu structure takes some getting used to. It’s easy to forget after using it for a time. I’m back to thinking it is bloated after a decade of using it, but for different (philosophical) reasons now.
