WordPress has literally millions of Web sites in production, tons of add-on software, and an ecosystem of companies and people providing solutions for it. Suggesting that the solution is "well, just start from scratch with something else" is unlikely to get you very far.
It is far easier and more likely that the community around WordPress would rally around replacing WP.org than starting over from scratch with a new toolkit. Some people might flee WP altogether, but the majority of people and companies just want to get things done - not seeing them having a lot of tolerance for or interest in having to start again from square one.

To be fair, the first and best solution most people in these parts have is "Fork it, I'm going to make my own Linux distro." or something along those lines. No, they don't get very far but I will credit their consistency.
- neya 2y agoBad software gets popularised all the time, there is nothing wrong with having alternatives and having more choices. I strongly think we need some good alternatives to Wordpress, as someone who has been in the publishing industry in the last decade. Also, Wordpress doesn't scale well (without getting expensive), the code is bad, it is poorly managed, security issues are all over the place. It's about time we got some alternatives.
- etchalon 2y agoThere are already an unfathomable number of WordPress alternatives.
