> Wordpress is a mess that keeps on chugging through inertia
This is a weirdly reductionist position.
WordPress is an auto-updating, security-patched, open source CMS with a stable API, an advanced WYSIWYG editor and now layout tool, a reliable REST interface, good hosting support from stable vendors, a highly functional foundation and a profitable owner, etc.
It's really no messier than any other open source CMS (less messy than several), and it has better community and foundation support than almost any open source product I can think of.
It's fine not to like it, but let's not just casually write it off in a blog post about a static site generator that is limited in scope and a single third party behemoth hosting operation; that's disingenuous.
