These things take time to sort out. Anyone moving platforms now, due to the drama, isn't going to show up in surveys/polls until after they've migrated. And depending on the size of their site, a migration could take the better part of a year. I expect we'll see how the sands are shifting by next July.

Good point on the timing, but I really hope Wordpress users aren't migrating to Drupal en masse. Drupal would be a very poor fit for most Wordpress-y sites (simple marketing pages, basic ecommerce, etc.). It's overkill and way too complicated and requires endless maintenance (see my rant in a sibling thread). There are a lot of better, lighter options for people who liked the ease-of-use of Wordpress. Wix/Squarespace are better choices for hosted/proprietary solutions, or in the FOSS/self-hosted world, there's https://ghost.org/ https://ghost.org/, https://strapi.io/ https://strapi.io/, https://getgrav.org/ https://getgrav.org/, or older PHP ones like TYPO3, Joomla, or CraftCMS. There are also a lot of commercial headless CMSes (https://cms-comparison.io/#/card https://cms-comparison.io/#/card) that are good fits for devs who want to code a frontend (in a framework/language of their choice) for non-dev clients. (Disclaimer: I work for a headless CMS, but this is my own opinion). Wordpress can do headless too with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, but that was previously bought by WPEngine and now caught in the crossfire between them and Matt :( https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/

  Anecdotally but from the list you just provided, ghost seemed the least cluttered and seems like an old basic webpage with modern looks. Not hating on any other solution though, whatever works for you is great....and maby I need a larger sample size to judge fairly.
