        My first dummy intranet site for grade school used it, but it was a new technology at the time. I remember having a site on geocities a couple years earlier that was all wysiwyg and only used text. Back then, email was cool.

        Internet nostalgia.

        I never understood why seemingly everyone uses WP. ‘I need a personal, but professional, web presence’ ‘use this blogging platform’, ‘I need an e-commerce site’ ‘use this blogging platform’ like what.

        Maybe I’m old and WP now does everything and the kitchen sink, but I was there when it started and made no sense.

          It’s true. They got through some gnarly WYSIWYG problems and, yes, due to plugins they basically do have the kitchen sink available.

          There’s some good comparative alternatives as well, but I don’t know much about them yet.
