    Not a WP dev. Just a (techie) user.

    This whole thing seems so unnecessary. FOSS devs would love to get a fraction of the goodwill being squandered here.

    lol, a Wordpress developer. So… not a developer.

    They are better off without Wordpress.

      Whoever can see through WordPress’s spaghetti code must be a genius.

        No, regular intelligence is all I needed. I made over a dozen plugins ( private not sold ) . I no longer have to maintain most.

        One can pick up patterns, and the hooks get intuitive.

        It’s not a bad framework, for the 1990s. It lacks many things, and God help anyone who wants to put a lot of data in it, or have multiple instances. It can be done , but omg.

        And don’t get me started on the bad and lazy work seen in many of the popular plugins .

        This is what a lot of the world depends on for day to day existence

      While there are quite a few agencies and solo devs that click their sites together using crap like Elementor and a bunch of no name plugins that could often be replaced by a single line of code, there are also people building building clean maintainable sites with it.

      That said, I usually don’t pick it for my projects. Kirby CMS is a much more flexible alternative. For anything more complex there’s Laravel with Filament to build a nice admin panel.

        Any examples? I want to know what counts as a clean WP site.

        Kirby

        I wish they had agency pricing. Buying a license for every install is a bit much.
