His issue seems to be with GoDaddy dominance and them converting people off of WordPress. He can’t be upset about people not using Woo Payments.

IMO WooCommerce doesn’t offer enough at the base level to make it competitive with other alternatives. Those paid plugins for shipping or search cost more per year than other basic e-commerce solutions.

SHipping integrations also really only exist for US customers. otherwise, it’s a paid and frustrating integration with your own country.

I am also going to venture a guess that by WordPress losing market share with its more recent theme builder and page builders that it isn’t exactly what the WordPress users want. It to me seems like a way for .com to offer a better product, and for .org devs to create themes to sell.

I could be wrong but it seems like a much more complex process for single devs to stick with the echo system and embrace the new builder tools.

If that’s the case and others can make a better builder then that is on Matt and his direction to resolve.

They are stepping into Wix and Squarespace turf very late in the game.

WordPress more and more over the years feels like Fremium to me.
