Comment on So Long WordPress.
actually@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI think the value of Wordpress is its ecosystem of tens of thousand of plugins. They cannot rewrite it without breaking many of them
The other value of Wordpress is its low entry barrier for writing plugins. One does not need to code well to write a plugin, and often plugins are abandoned-ware, or close. Many of these badly written abandoned plugins are vital to thousands of sites, or more.
Broke plugins stay broken .
By definition wp must never change too much, ever

I’d say 99% of those plugins are garbage, and eliminating them would be a great opportunity to improve them. It can’t stay the same forever. The sooner it happens, the sooner it improves.
Think about all the work it will give people!
