Again, not relevant to the topic of the new onboarding.

More like sour grapes from a disgruntled former customer.

Every story has 2 sides and I get the impression from your attitude, you were less than nice to them.

Anything that helps newbies with the overall adoption of WP is a good thing. They can graduate to better hosting if they choose to later. Right now they barely know what hosting is.

Anything that makes it less frustrating for newbies is also a good thing. Just because installing and editing a new site is easy for you (and everyone else reading this - you're not special here) does not mean it's easy for someone that has never even heard about WP except from a colleague at a Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Every host has haters. GoDaddy is not unique in that category. I can also find you 1000 good reviews of their hosting as well.

You just seem content to belittle as many companies and people as possible with your little rant though. Sorry to rain on your little parade.
