I use WordPress every day. It's the life blood of my business but it comes with a bitter aftertaste these days.

Compare Matt's guardianship or WordPress with that of Taylor Ottwell over Laravel. Worlds apart. Matt applies influence over wordpress to guide it to suit the needs of automattic and its investors. Taylor guides Laravel to be the best it can be and evolve to suite the use case of the developers working with it, then developes business models around these use cases to rightly earn some much deserved money from it.

In a world with resources such as netlify and a push towards static sites I think a change is in the wind!
