It’s really a shame because by now WordPress itself actually works quite well. Sure, it’s fueled by unspeakably ugly spaghetti code. But at least it’s unspeakably ugly spaghetti code that works and receives regular automatic updates.

And other than putting up a verification program I don’t see what they could do to improve the plugin situation.

I agree. I don’t hate wordpress. It seems a bit dated by today’s standards and bloated in some aspects but you can definitely make a solid, fast website with it. It’s getting a bad reputation for its toxic plugin dev scene and crappy sites built using Elementor.

As someone who found elementor the only thing that was working at the time - any suggestions to do better? I have no coding experience fyi

Regular automatic updates on ugly spaghetti code feels like it’s just asking for trouble.

Theoretically, someone could untangle the spaghetti. Nobody will, but automatic updates at least opens up the possibility.
