I really don't want to have to switch from WordPress but this fiasco is putting decades of work in question.
That in mind, I'm hoping a list of the best qualities of WordPress, including everyone's thoughts, might help is focus on what's minimally amazing about WordPress.
Some of my thoughts:
* My code / my site – I can take it anywhere
* CMS is free
* Not a platform, it's more like interoperable pieces
* Themes separate from design
* Features (plugins) separate from CMS or theme
* Updates can be avoided
* Everything can be forked to personalize
Maybe I'm completely lost in what I'm thinking or why, I'm not a hardcore WordPress dev, just someone who has built on and used it since 2004. Maybe I'm getting something wrong, please forgive me.
Other minimum viable capabilities? Anything out there worth consideration?
