I am asking, in a not snarky but genuinely curious way, what are the advantages of any of these platforms over wordpress?

The most important one to me is not using PHP (THEshittiest programming language ever) and being built upon NodeJS. Also, look at my answer below about the security aspect of it.

I would rather use PHP over JavaScript. I know that puts me in a smallish subset of people here, but I really don't like JavaScript.

Smallish subset here perhaps but then HN is not representative of the wider programming community.

I for one think JavaScript is an utterly hideous language full of all kinds of gotchas and abortions and that the only reason it has any relevance is it got their first.

I will take PHP over JS (and Python over both).
