    I did originally write that in my post, but deleted it because I asked myself, “What’s the alternative?”

      Drupal. Grav, Strapi, Postlight, and many others if you want to self host. SquareSpace or Hubspot if you don’t want to self host.

        Grav and strapi are open core only (arguably so is wordpress though), I’m not familiar with postlight.

        That’s all fine for technically inclined people, not for the scores of tech illiterate folk that need a big “migrate” button.

        There’s probably already a bunch of forks people could move to, if needed, people could coalesce around one. That should be a drop-in replacement that the hosting provider could even do for you.

          Please don’t fork WordPress. There’s better CMS out there. Look up WPForce if you’d like to see just how terrible WordPress is

      Blood is in the water. The sharks will come to feed on the corpse. If one manages to make an alternative that can be a nearly seamless switch from WP that will probably succeed.
