couldn't agree more. This was from the perspective of a developer-entrepreneur. If I was talking to non-technical entrepreneur the arguments in favour of Wordpress are probably stronger. So much easier to find developers and agencies who are familiar with it. Without spending a fortune. It's easier to pass from one agency to another even. Not to mention easier to sell your business later on... To quote Patrick McKenzie[0]:
"Practically speaking, this means that the market wants your website to be on WordPress and your technology stack to be something very, very mainstream, like Rails or PHP. That ensures that, when they want to hire someone to work with it, that person will exist in quantity and be inexpensive. The market highly dislikes software which is written in something more esoteric (the new Javascript hotness, Golang, Erlang, etc) because that adds substantial risk and cost to operating the business."
