No thanks, I hate it.

(To be clear, I'm no fan of WordPress either, and its security hassles are a real issue. But some sloppified MegaCorp vibecoded fever dream will never be a suitable replacement, of that I guarantee.)

Is that based on anything concrete or are you just going off of vibes for that?

"vibecoded fever dream" is a fun phrase but wordpress powers 40% of the web and gets pwned through plugins constantly. someone needs to try something different. if it's MIT licensed and actually isolates plugin code, the origin story doesn't really matter. the alternative is the status quo where every WP site is one abandoned plugin away from being a spam relay.
