I got lost in this wordpress thing. Tried to read few (probably low quality informed-as-I-am) articles and now I’m even more lost. Can someone ELI5 what’s going on, who’s the good guy, who’s the bad guy, whether wordpress (product) is to be avoided, etc. Thank you.
I don’t think there’s a good guy. Both parties suck here.
I mean, one was always for-profit and didn’t try to hide it. WPE is within the rights to do that. Meanwhile, Matt preaches open-source while acting like a manchild and showing just how controlled it all is by him alone. The only real brand being tarnished is WordPress. I’ve seen more people say their next site will be with a different CMS. Sad.
From what I understand, WordPress has been attacking WPengine more or less out of nowhere and is trying to destroy their business because their product competes with Wordpress.com (for many, many years now)
