Scott Anderson Justin Tadlock’s mention of the importance of code portability really highlighted for me how WordPress has gone off the rails. The way the Block Editor stores block properties in content is about as brittle and unportable as it gets! WordPress was never a true MVC framework, but along the way the core team has completely abandoned one of the web’s one-time guiding principles: separation of presentation and content. I’m still along for the ride with WordPress because of inertia, but I on principle it just feels like everything is wrong now, and this situation shows what a farce it has become. WordPress is huge but the project has abandoned everything that made it so.
