always the positive first, what wordpress does nicely:
- [+] it allows users to (more or less) EASILY publish content
- [+] timely updates are provided
- [+] in 2024 self hosting wordpress is still possible (but they REALLY want users to use their hosted “cloud” based service)
now the CRITIQUE:
- [-] but there is no proper auto update function #wtf
- [-] increasing likelyhood of security problems
- [-] wordpress’ PHP based auto update mechanism is HIGHLY UNRELIABLE (it is NOT PHP’s fault, the implementation of this process is just UTTER CRAP)
- [-] the bash based one is too complicated (prone to errors)
like windows: usability: easy = good BUT but behind the scenes, the [-] technical side seems to be COMPLETELY out of control and [-] IGNORE UNIX KISS as so many other failed software projects with loads and loads of security problems (windows?)
- [-] any web CMS that has more than 100 files is a inefficient in handling of those files and probably full of bugs and security problems aka bloatware mess doomed to fail X-D
- [-] and yes it takes A LONG TIME to SFTP delete 100.000 small files…
