WordPress's "most OK" status is its strength
the real WordPress lock in is the stupendous numbers of plugins, themes and developers for both. "why don't you move to X" fails to answer "I use *this* fuckin plugin"
the control point is wordpress.org
ClassicPress has its *own* extension repo (with beer and hookers) but it would need full wordpress.org compat to be a substitute
the many many many alternate CMSes and static site generators almost never address "this fuckin plugin i actually use"
not to mention "I have ten years of posts and comments and known URLs here"
tech evangelists are delighted to dive into people's mentions with suggestions that don't address anything the system is being used for. this is about any software whatsoever. because tech evangelists in general are odious idiots.
i've had tech evangelist morons hear "wordpress" and claim "oh comments are a wrong thing to want" and wtf
