Comment on Tumblr to move its half a billion blogs to WordPress
AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 2 weeks agoYou’re not alone, I’ve still got clients with WP sites and it feels more and more patchworky every time I use it. The vulnerabilities may keep me up at night, but it would take a ton of effort to move them over, and my clients certainly don’t want to pay for that.

I see this all the time. People complain about WP but think the alternatives are better, when they’re just trading problems for others.
WP core is stable AF. I’ve shared in many prior comments how I spend so many more dev hours fixing other CMSes over WP.
And if you don’t even need a CMS, fuck it all and switch to static hosting and markdown.

Oh yeah, for sure. Joomla still haunts my dreams.
All of my own sites are static because it’s easy for me to modify. But my clients need something a bit more user friendly, unfortunately.
