Who in their right mind would work with php?

Variables from lops can bleed through all code imports. Nightmare!

You find a bug in wordpress... Good luck ever finding it.

You got virus on wordpress. You'll never be able to get rid of it.

You want to add a form? Easy, plugin. Next week upgrade, all broken. Good look making things working again.

Actually all these problems above are solvable... But now you wasted three same time as doing it properly. And you still end up with a piece of $hit...

I think it's more about the type of things you want to waste your time: hacking wordpress or doing beautiful robust engineering.

One is pleasant, other is a nightmare. That's my view, might be different for others.

I'm just building websites with gatsby with some extra features that can reused in new websites: when I fix one website, all websites will get that fix. With wordpress it's not really easily doable.

I'm running more than 100 websites this way and more and more people and business come to me because they want 100 Google page speed and don't want to be bothered with wordpress or doing their own gatsby (even gatsby is not great out of the box).
