Given how crufty Wordpress is, I don’t even dare to imagine how bad the Tumblr backend must be that this is seen as an improvement by the developers.

Right? At this point I’m just sticking with WordPress because I can’t be bothered to migrate a bunch of sites off of it. Every year for the past decade it’s felt jankier. Tumblr’s backend has to be a dumpster fire for this to seem like a good idea.
My criticism aside, WP still has the convenience factor of being the open source web platform that has a plugin for just about any need. Whether those plugins are gonna break for site or introduce interesting new vulnerabilities is a different discussion.

You’re not alone, I’ve still got clients with WP sites and it feels more and more patchworky every time I use it. The vulnerabilities may keep me up at night, but it would take a ton of effort to move them over, and my clients certainly don’t want to pay for that.

I see this all the time. People complain about WP but think the alternatives are better, when they’re just trading problems for others.
WP core is stable AF. I’ve shared in many prior comments how I spend so many more dev hours fixing other CMSes over WP.
And if you don’t even need a CMS, fuck it all and switch to static hosting and markdown.

Oh yeah, for sure. Joomla still haunts my dreams.
All of my own sites are static because it’s easy for me to modify. But my clients need something a bit more user friendly, unfortunately.
