You obviously haven't spent much time in internet marketing. People who are somewhere in betweeen a non technical user and developer are productive because they use Wordpress for everything. There are entire ecommerce stores built around Wordpress. At this point Wordpress is like an operating system for web apps; it doesn't matter what the apps do, only that they're easy to install/run/customize for semi-technical users.

Could you please not do this making-it-personal trope on HN? It's internet incivility that mars your otherwise fine comment.

WordPress (with WooCommerce) is actually the most popular e-commerce platform in the world and powers around 40% of all online stores.

I always wonder how Oracle is still present with that much market share in nearly every industry. I can't believe it's just "no on got fired for using Oracle Commerce" (?)

Yep - there are ecommerce plugins (WooCommerce being the big notable one, owned by Automattic themselves), CRM plugins, project management plugins, etc.
