I used WordPress for a while, but switched to a host of static site generators about two years ago. One of the big reasons I switched was because WordPress was so huge, and unnecessarily so.
Their big overhaul of the wp-admin section, in 2.5 I think, de-emphasized the post writing page (something which was previously instantly accessible). That's what started pushing me away from WordPress.
Recently I've started looking for another server-side platform. I've been getting annoyed with the extra work involved with static site generators, especially for a rather trivial "look what I saw" blog. I installed Anchor [1] last night, and plan on playing with it. I'm also interested in Ghost, but it hasn't been publicly released so far as I know.

- egypturnash 13y agoThese days there's a "+ New" button at the top of every single page of a Wordpress site - both the admin section, and the public section if you're logged in - that lets you add a new post, piece of media, page, or user. Or more; I use the Comic Easel plugin to manage my webcomic, and it lets me add a new page that way. That said if you want a CMS that only does the five things you need, you don't want WP.
- dkuntz2 13y agoThat's exactly the conclusion I came to. Which is a shame, because there was a point where WordPress basically did just what I wanted to, and put the emphasis on those things. Now it's a full blown CMS, which I don't want or need.
