   I'm surprised anyone still uses wordpress after this whole sh!tshow, but outside HN folks probably don't even know. Just reading about it about it puts me off from the product and company.

      Any “tech” person would already have left Wordpress a decade ago, even before all the drama. It’s a slow, bloated, bug ridden, insecure mess.

      The company is being kept alive by 1. People who Google “how to set up an online blog/store” and click the first link and 2. Those who are already in too deep and don’t want to make the effort to migrate.

         I wonder where you think where all these people would left to? I can think of project or two but it's very short list.

            Most folks probabpy use the "render wordpress site to static site" model to avoid the security issues.

               Yeah that archives your current site. But how does it replace Wordpress? You need CMS when you need to update your site.
