In reply to Peter Knight.

Peter,

Thanks. I do agree that WordPress is a great platform but as agreed most of WordPress' user base are not great developers, nor do most developers via it as a serious platform. While we may think otherwise, our thinking it won't change the broader landscape.

As for "the talent pool growing and getting paid properly?" I dunno, WordPress has been around for a really long time; I don't see that happening any time soon, if much at all. I think those of us who like WordPress like you and me should just resign ourselves to the fact things won't change that much or rapidly outside of the WP bubble.

Also agree that a fast evolving API is not a good thing, though not sure my opinion on partial vs full.
