If we don't innovate now, we don't stand a chance to of making it to the future with WordPress. New tools are far more superior and WordPress which once was a cutting-edge software now feels like a broken tool.

The publishing experience is such a nightmare that so many folks have moved away from WordPress to something like Medium without a second thought about the fact that now they publish for Medium instead of their own publications.

I think technology is hard by its inherent nature. Nothing you can do about that. That also shouldn't be the reason to not move ahead.

Two cents.
