“Something better will emerge” could be a libre fork of the project without him. He is the problem.

But also technically it would be (inertia not withstanding) good if the project were replaced with something else, something better.

Django with plugins could be made to look like and work similar to Wordpress I bet.

I'm a Python fan condescending on PHP, but doesnt the world still depend on deploying instantly via FTP and cheap hosts enjoying the low overhead of a 100000 sites on a server? On the other hand, cheapest Namecheap and Digitalocean plans are neck to neck on first glance.

They should call it PressWord.

Then get a ton of free publicity when Microsoft sues them.
