Every once in a while I go through an “I want a website” phase and try something new, but always end up back with Wordpress.

Ultimately I wanted to write content and play around with CSS making it look nice, and Wordpress handles that. Many of the other options felt like I was forever tweaking things or upgrading a dependency or something - very much mike the old days of Linux where making the modem work was an achievement.

If I couldn’t use Wordpress I’d probably go with Jekyll or Ghost.

I agree - Wordpress is amply good enough (or overkill...which is still "good enough) for probably >95% of all use cases
