I haven’t found a better platform for my stuff than WordPress.

Do I want Matt Mullenweg and WP Engine to come to some agreement and get this behind us. Absolutely.

But I don’t think switching platforms because of Matt’s behavior makes any sense. And yes that’s just my opinion.

Maybe stop contributing to the project until things get better. Or don’t submit your plugin to the main WordPress.org repo. But leaving a platform that you know and love, isn’t doing anything to Matt, really.

If anything it’s hurting you. Now, if you were already other-CMS-curious then this might be the time to do a switch or explore other options. But jumping from WordPress, especially a self-hosted version, isn’t doing anything… come on! Get real.

Now, not paying for products that Automattic, Matt’s company, makes? Sure that’s a protest. Maybe do that instead of nuking your own tech stack.

This is just my opinion. Thoughts?
