the Suckerberg managed to remain the most normal of the bunch.

Not a chance, don't let his surfer dude makeover fool you.

I was not saying he is a saint. Just that he fell less from where he's already been. And less than other CEOs did.

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.

Zuckerberg is not the problem.
It's more the fact that Matt lost his mind at everyone over everything.
Imagine if the guys at XF did that to us on here and they weren't able to generate any funding because of it.

Got any examples of what you've made with these tools?
How much customisation do you do to the underlying code on top of what they produce?
Not had a chance to try any of these AI builders yet.

Let me find out if I have read and understood correctly! If I make a website and host system for XenForo under the domain XFengine.com, which host will be the best solution. Then I will have to pay XenForo Ltd for the fact that thanks to me more and more people use their system? Did I understand correctly or.....?
