Because lots of us see where this fits in the market. Businesses want to leave wordpress, and wix/squarespace are almost exclusively targeting non-technical users.

This type of approach lets a technical person work with the marketing team so that the site can be both easy to update and optimized for business needs.

You’re right that good software/service does not automatically mean profit, but you’re missing the understanding that if you serve a hungry demographic, you only need a MVP to bring in revenue.

I tried forestry and found the static site development very fragmented. There are:

1. git service providers 2. SSGs 3. CMSs 4. Static site hosting providers

If one is targeting end users who just want to write, it's quite hard to beat WordPress since the experience is completely streamlined.

Who says businesses are trying to leave Wordpress? Anyone got any data backing the claim?

I just don’t see it. Ghost already tried and gave up. There’s tons of Wordpress competitors out there. I could be wrong but where’s the data?

My personal experience as a freelance wordpress tuner.

Part of the problem is the drain of the plugins they load up, but invariably Wordpress would be far less useful to them without those plugins, so they just end up wrestling with it all the time wishing there was an alternative.

I'm curious, do you have any data backing your claim that Ghost 'tried and gave up'? Just wondering.
