A case for something, anything more simple than WordPress

It's also very easy to extend.

True. I hadn't done any PHP coding in many years, and knew essentially nothing about how WP worked, but Google + tenacity = useful results. Shortcodes, for example; super cool.

There are plenty of WTF moments in PHP and Wordpress but nothing that prevents pragmatic results.

Worth mentioning though, that level of easy extensibility, combined with Wordpress' absurd popularity, makes it very easy to get into trouble. It's the Internet Explorer of the blogging world.

Your link has nothing to do with building themes or plugins though..

Building, no. Using, everything. A non trivial amount of plugins/themes an average user is likely to install are major security risks.
