Are you able to name of the publishers that you say run massive WP installs?

I do know they exist of course, Sony being one.

I’m coding up a little something that I feel is more modern and superior compared to WP, and I’d like to learn what their business requirements and use cases are that keep them on WP.

Thanks in advance!

I don't want to discourage you...but there's so many WP alternatives out there that are supported by bigger companies, have a big ecosystem around them with agencies and developers for many years. Why would massive WP installs switch to "a little something"?

I just see the opportunity to provide developers and users a better experience using modern tooling, and feels open and simple enough for anyone to download and use without worrying about security vulnerabilities.

Something that feels powerful and safe; like WP of 10 to 15 years ago.

Digital First Media/MediaNews Group, one of the largest newspaper publishers in the US, runs its 100+ local newspaper (NY Daily News, Chicago Tribune, Denver Post, etc.) websites on WordPress.

Thank you for the info! This is a solid response :)

WP's strength is its size and history. WP is entrenched, it's good enough and it's got an enormous talent pool.
