No idea, but after 27 years of web developments (yes I started around 1996) I would choose Wordpress every day and twice on Sundays. I have used Drupal, Joomla and Codeigniter extensively, and yet my answer today is, Wordpress.

I've never really delved into wordpress deeply; but it feels like the ecosystem is fragmented, lacks any standards and is littered with proprietary plugins that are no longer supported by the authors; and create conflicts with other plug-ins on the installation.

Am I incorrect?

Nope. That is why Wordpress wins.

This isn't a very convincing argument.

Because of the fractured plugins that exist for WordPress is what makes WordPress the strongest contender than any other CMS.

Even though they may be security ridden, bug ridden, exploitable leading to an increase of DDoS, Crypto mining, and malware spreading and exploitation there is no other CMS out there that has the sheer amount of plugins that WordPress has.

Wordpress as well has a large pool of developers, designers who you can hire commission for cheap to create your brand compared to any other. Better?
