> Who cares if WordPress isn’t a “modern framework”
Developer experience? I'd rather spend my way working with Laravel than crap old PHP code written like it's in the 90's.
> It pays the same as any other programming as long as you don’t scrape the bottom of the barrel putting up mom & pop sites
It's good that you manage to find good clients but this wasn't my experience. A lot of WP projects go to the lowest bidder which just doesn't happen with the technologies I work with and recommend.
So if you already make good money on WP then go ahead by any means, but I personally wouldn't recommend getting into it if you're starting out.
