I wonder if in 5 years we will see another framework that runs 40% of the internet and view the third quarter of 2024 as the time WP began its decline.

There’s certainly potential for something new. When WP came about, it was the very best at doing what it does, and was the best for a very long time. It’s place now comes after >10 years of usage. And while there are competitors now, WP is still easy to use for devs and non-devs, still has an enormous userbase and thousands of plugins, and is open source. So it’s gonna be hard to beat.
But there’s a lot of grievances with WP, aside from concerns over leadership, so if something came along that is extensible, open, easy to pick up, and welcoming to the community, then there’s definitely a place for that.
I switched to WordPress from Drupal around 2013, and have invested a lot of time and money into WP extensions. But honestly, a situation in which one CMS grabs such a share of the market is not healthy (within CMSs it is even higher than 40%).
So, if other CMSs get a chance to shine, I think it will be great. I am rooting for Drupal, I hope they can build a stronger ecosystem around it and make it easier for regular users. Under the hood, it is much more solid than WP, just not so easy to learn for newbies.
Most probably yes, but as we cannot predict the future, we can only stick to WP for now and keep an eye for anything that grows in the background
We could see a fork take its place, or maybe Matt has a come to Jesus moment and steps down allowing for a sane leader to take his place.
I’m really hoping for a shiny new toy.
Maybe 40% of the internet in Somalia. For the rest of the world it will be WordPress.
