I will use a static blog generator (or probably write my own in Perl/ Python). I just want simple stuff. In the early days, WP was simple, and I loved it. Now, it turned into a hot mess—every primary functionality (like anti-spam or form) needed a plugin which is a significant source of pain. Fun fact, b2 was slowly dying and had few issues, so they created a b2 fork known as WP. Then Movable Type messed up with its userbase in 2004, and those users did mass migration to WP, and the rest is the history.
