Comment summary: WordPress is praised for its ease of use, extensive plugin ecosystem, and user-friendly interface. Users appreciate its versatility for blogging, websites, and e-commerce, highlighting its large community support and SEO capabilities. However, criticisms include maintenance challenges for larger sites, limited free version features, and a complex interface for developers or business-scale applications.

I've now used Wordpress for 11 fantastic years and it just gets better and better. It doesn't only have to be used for blogging these days, all sorts of website types can be made with it.

Overkill to a simple site. Looks easy, but if you want to do professional work you need to go down the php+js+sql rabbithole. Most of the "'free" templates are not free, 99% of them missing some important feature and you will be forced to pay for it. Tons of security issues with plugins and wyswyg editors. It's for blogging. If your site don't have a blog and you know the basics of html+css, you don't need WP. Very hard to migrate, even with plugins, i had lot of errors with backups and migrations. I avoid WP every time i can.

It's funny how you talk about doing "professional" work then complain about needing to go down the coding rabbithole. If you're doing anything "professional" that should be the basics.

I think you have the wrong idea and expectation regarding what wordpress is for and who it's for

I’ve used WordPress for years. Its flexibility and massive plugin ecosystem are unmatched. While it takes a little time to learn, the community support makes it easy. It's still my top choice for both blogs and business sites. Highly recommend!

WordPress is a CMS is which means Content. If you don't create Content and only want a landing page; this is the wrong product for you. People need to understand their needs first.

I have always found Wordpress easy to use and I have used it to power a number of my company's websites. The plugin marketplace is vast and it's easy to find solutions to common use cases.

What is WordPress?

WordPress is software designed for everyone, emphasizing accessibility, performance, security, and ease of use.

The basic WordPress software is simple and predictable so you can easily get started. It also offers powerful features for growth and success.

We believe in democratizing publishing and the freedoms that come with open source. Supporting this idea is a large community of people collaborating on and contributing to this project. The WordPress community is welcoming and inclusive. Our contributors’ passion drives the success of WordPress which, in turn, helps you reach your goals.
