Ask HN: Can you help me make an argument against Wordpress?
I've used wordpress for the last 6 years, with a number of companies, but I've finally had enough of it. It's too bloated, too much work and there are better ways of getting things done.
The problem is, I haven't had a chance to try anything new (i've switched careers), but at the same time I try to persuade others to move away from traditional CMS'es ala Wordpress et all, over to something else such as Static Site Generators and so on. Unfortunately, I don't have much to substantiate the claim.
Is there anyone here that has successfully moved away from Wordpress onto something else and been 'better for it' ?
Why did you move away from Wordpress?
How big was/is your site?
What tech stack did you move to?
Was it worth the move?
Tell me anything.
I'd like to share the results with my friends.
