I see it in a different way. Maybe I hold a different perspective of looking at things.

I find no comparison between WordPress and others like WIX or Shopify.

WordPress offers complete freedom and flexibility in terms of features, ownership as well as budget. With WordPress it is up to me as a user –
What do I want ?
What Do I want?
And how much do I want to spend?

WIX and Shopify is like a rented house for me. I can’t think of expanding my business in those restricted environments.

Can anyone tell me what are the options available at wix and shopify to extend features and who will do that for me at what cost?

With WordPress I still have a client who is happy running a business website at just $29 per year and another client who spends around $15000 per month. I can’t think of this much flexibility on any other platform.

I love the concept of gutenberg and FSE. Writing a blog with gutenberg editor is awesome experience. The concept of block as a development and designing tool is again a master work. I agree it’s complex for development in comparison with classic editors. But the choice is again mine. Classic editor still works. That’s the beauty.

Kudos to the WordPress Team and all the contributors.

Lastly, WordPress is completely open source and open for contribution. So if I am not happy with something I will start contributing to make it better as per my wish. That option is also open.
