        Right, because the only alternative to using spaghetti old code is making your own, not using one of the many actively maintained free software.

        https://bearblog.dev/

        https://writefreely.org/

        Among many others you’d easily find if you give up on the hivemind of taking the most popular approach.

      Over the past 4 years WordPress usage has grown from 35% to 43.4% ~ [W3 Techs](https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress](https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/content_management/all/y)

      As much as I hate so much about WordPress, yes it is the most used CMS. Period. Your comment is just ignorant.
