I mean it’s interesting to read and I think Matt is throwing a fit over nothing really. I’m not sure why he is doing this but I see it’s pointed this way.
Wordpress is an open-source code for everyone to use. Wordpress does not own the -plugin/theme database that is housed at Wordpress.org. Automattic owns Wordpress.org. WPEngine has been running for years until recently - in which Wordpress/Automattic has started kicking toward their own service inline with WPEngine. A good way to eliminate WPEngine would be to purchase them. If you don’t have the capitol -tough- now that the courts has said what it’s going to say and done what done. Matt/wordpress.org/Automattic has egg on their face and many OS persons are kinda mad at Matt for doing what he was doing. I tried ClassicPress but have found I like the newer WP better.
Just my .02.

As someone who's built most of their stack on WordPress over the years, I’m honestly blown away by how things have gone downhill. Matt Mullenweg no longer feels like a visionary, more like a bitter kid trying to micromanage everything. The drama around plugins, hosting, and policies feels completely unnecessary. Just petty and disappointing.
These days, I’m building frontends with Lovable and Builder.io, and going either custom or with Strapi on the backend. Honestly, it outperforms WordPress in every way. It’s cleaner, faster, and way more flexible. WordPress just can’t keep up anymore.
