I'm surprised anyone is moving to WP w/ all the drama going on over there: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1fvl9aa/wordpressorgmatt_vs_wpengine_megathread_part_2/

Has WordPress actually changed at all in the last 20 years? Apart from a million templates.

I've been in Lanzarote for the last week and I'd missed all this, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if a lot of actual WP clients aren't aware of the drama!

I just realized my original link got deleted. Here's an updated link w/ a recap of the drama. https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/15/wordpress-vs-wp-engine-drama-explained/ It's pretty wild. I think clients are starting to take note, at least according to reddit there are reports that clients are starting to ask for alternatives to WordPress and agencies are losing large RFPs when recommending WordPress due stability + an uncertain future https://www.reddit.com/r/WPDrama/comments/1g4b644/wp_loss_tracker/.
