I somewhat agree. But I'd say it's not Wordpress per-se that's pure trash, but some of the plugins that are written for it. WP itself is quirky, but it's not that bad. Admittedly I haven't checked it in several years. I remember it having extremely backwards compatibility which I respect a lot (like still supporting PHP 4 in 2013 or so) That being said, WP doesn't impose any kind of style or order when you make a theme or plugin. And maaaan, by FAR the worst code I saw, things that literally make you shout "HOW TF IS THIS SO F*****ING STUPID?" were in some plugins for Wordpress. Which is partially the fault of WP, but in principle I don't dislike the idea of freedom, so I can't fully fault WP for allowing this kind of dumpster fires. The community should filter out the pure trash plugins and promote sane-written ones.
