alt Hacker NewsLike you said. It is a product for people who are not technical and don't code. A product that you would have to use git for, wouldn't be used by the 90 percent in the first place. And there are such products. There is a reason WordPress is the most popular platform. Most people are not technical.
And people like to be able to extend from Blogs to various other non static features which WordPress allows for.
Its so funny… our wordpress started off as simple blogging thing but now is not only using 99% cpu but also no one knows how to edit/deal with all the plugins etc. Wordpress is the worst choice. Always
