Hijacking the spirit of this link to just saying that I'm very sad about what Wordpress has become.
In my mind it was a very good website / blogging platform, with a clear and functional markup / raw code editor.
Building themes was easy, and so was the plugging ecosystem.
I installed the latest version ~6 months ago, and I found myself overly confused by the million of options, the poor functionality of the block system, and the overall bloating of the software. It just run slower than 10 years ago.
The templates and plugin available out there are extremely complex and a lot harder to read, code wise.
I assume is a 'dead by 1000 papercuts, or customer demands, in this case' but from a product standpoint, I'd really love to know who are the personas that this new interpretation of wordpress cater to.
