Wordpress Debacle?
My relationship with WordPress has been a love/hate one. I was happy maintaining my personal blog with an outdated version of MovableType despite the horrendous build times and spam attacks just because I loved its interface and hated the design of every alternative blog system.
I even lost the massive exodus that happened when SixApart changed its MT license model and only two years later I've made the migration to WordPress, once their interface was tolerable to use. Nowadays WP's interface is beautiful, also it has been evolving from a blogging platform to a full fledged CMS and its community has grown an incredible ecosystem around it. Even I have a business built around it. But the problem with WordPress today is security. This month a nasty worm attacked a lot of old (and by old I mean one decimal of a version behind) WP installations and for a lot of people –me included– our faith and love for WordPress declined some points. That's why I'm checking some other options and that's one of the reasons that tonight I'm writing a blog post on GMail.What do you think? Is this the beginning of the end of the WordPress reign?
