Wordpress made a great impact on the net, and I was happy when clients liked its ease of use and relieved from the burden of making content changes. (Though, I've always felt that https://textpattern.com/ was more secure and better than Wordpress).

I think that's the remarkable thing about wordpress. There have been better engineered platforms consistently, but WordPress wins because it's got a diverse long-tail module ecosystem, an enormous developer pool, and a self-perpetuating userbase.

Fun fact - Textpattern and WordPress are both 18yrs old, PHP and GPL.
