I’ve hosted with WPEngine, it’s alright, there are worse hosts, and depending on your needs there might be better ones.
But Automattic is deeply hypocritical (criticising WPEngine for things they themselves do, and arguably do more so), and clearly haven’t learned the lesson that if you plan on going the legal route, you let loose the lawyers then keep your mouth shut.
The last legal statement from Automattic should concern every single business that uses WordPress as a tool, because Matt made it clear that he, and he alone, owns wordpress.org, not the WP foundation and that literally everyone gets access at his personal discretion.
If WPE loses their lawsuit, Matt/Automattic will go after other hosts and find reasons to browbeat them into paying the WP tax.
