At one point, we used Wordpress for everything from websites for small restaurants to collaborative desktop publishing platforms, but none of this turned out a great idea longterm.
We still use wordpress occasionally, but no longer for those customers.
Absolutely. Unfortunately, tools create confirmation bias, and given WP's market share those voices are collectively the loudest.
The point being, the general perception is WP is *always* the solution for *every* need. And Automattic and other leaders with the WP "community" don't make much of an effort to change that.
I like WP. I use WP. ButI find the one size fits all attitude very annoying and ethically suspect.
