Way too many developers are working on proprietary implementations of what is fundamentally a content management system. We should be creating half a dozen of these things and doing a little light customization and a few addons. Instead have a couple, and devs look down on people who use them.

We’ve added lanes to the proverbial highway and traffic just gets worse..
