Reading through Matt’s arguments, I agree with most of it, except one – WordPress is not developer-friendly. Hasn’t been for a long while now. Especially for new developers, who come into WordPress development from. Laravel or JS – our developer tooling looks like its from the stone age, dependency management and environment management is non-existent or rudimentary at best. I think it turns away a lot of good new talent and we’ll start to feel the real harm of that in the next 3-5 years.
