Like other companies such as Microsoft and Taco Bell, WordPress is clearly obsessed on being the most "popular" in its niche, not the "best."

But he seems to believe that whatever you don't like about WordPress can be solved with someone else's plug-in. Because plug-ins can and should solve every problem, right?
