This post reminds me of the Charlie Munger's The Psychology of Human Misjudgement speech to Harvard Law School. Specifically the part where he talks about the "man-with-a-hammer syndrome":

What gummed up Skinner's reputation is that he developed a case of what I always call man-with-a-hammer syndrome: to the man with a hammer, every problem tends to look pretty much like a nail.

I think this is a perfect example. Why go through all that trouble to try and make WordPress something it is not? Just use the right tool and get on with it.
