@donnacha - Personally I would always prefer to have, and to offer, a dynamic site over a static irrespective of the overheads, which, in view of WP are slight. For me, its about people knowing they can publish immediately. Static site generators are news to me, it will very interesting to see how they evolve as a publishing option.

I totally agree you on the supposed security issues of WP, I think particular bodies have a vested interest in peddling exaggerations.

As for Ghost, you stated earlier that people are apt to project there wishes on to a new shiny looking platform. Your most insightful point, for me, is that Ghost is not going to be a radical departure from the WordPress model. Just to clarify, I am not knocking people's enterprise, Ghost certainly looks slick, but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating!

@Matthew McGarity - I agree with you on poorly designed themes, much of the commercial theme market is caught in a features race. Adding needless complexity for users. On the flip-side I would like to see plugins offering more filters for extensibility - I guess you can't please everyone. :)

@Matt- looking forward to seeing your ideas for the post editor and agree with the process of iterations, no one is going to get things right first time - hence updates!

@Ted Clayton - enjoyed reading Lumper v's Splitters and the cyclical nature of solutions complicating the problems they are designed to solve. For me, 'Simplicity', 'Complexity' and as Tung Do added 'Elegance' are abstractions that can be emotive at times.

I think the best way to solve complexity is the iterative process, put the code out there, gauge its effectiveness, then amend accordingly. By no means perfect, but effective - aviation being a prime example.

@Jeffro- Great article enjoyed reading it.
