Say whatever you want to about Gutenberg but I love it. Matt and Automattic are returning WordPress to its humble roots of being software for blogging. As the internet evolved, WordPress tried to add as much functionality while started straying away from its original goal. But with Gutenberg, it is once again focusing on content while turning WordPress into an all in one website builder. I know Gutenberg has its own kinks and might set off some old users but you gotta adapt and anyway the old editor was a hot mess. Hated that editor whenever it added extra spaces to perfectly formatted articles. Also personally Gutenberg helps with my OCD as it perfectly separates shortcodes and paragraphs.
But if you still wanna use that the classic editor you always have a plugin to hack it into your post composer. But would recommend you to give Gutenberg at least a week and two.

I used it for a few weeks, it wasn’t that bad the interface and API is flexible and I actually understand why people like using it for back-end or blogging however designing an application (plugin) is horrible but people love it so I end-up building a plugin connecting to my own CMS, you known just to keep them in Matrix

Comments also can be selected by single click, where without comments even such section not need to be visible.
@LonghairedPaul @LeapOfFaith @Rains @WannaBeIzaya
New editor is not liked by a lot of users. Great feature could be allow to people select the editor which they prefer.
@SirLouen - Yes, WP is hungry for resources what increasing hosting costs. There can be simple separate parts for editor and page rendering.
Sure, it allow many people to earn really good money on plugins and themes.
I saw on themeforest how people are able to make even 6 digits on themes.
True, but when code is open - nothing strange here, especially when a lot of people creating it.
Plug and play is useful for all of users who don't know too much how to setup WP in correct way.
Also, when we have on mind 100 blogs, 30 minutes difference in setup mean wasted whole day for correct setup all of them.
@pravinlpatel @ferizamia - Many WP users love it!
@Yee - All people who are able to create WP plugins can do much more with WP, it's great option. But it also cost resource.
Cheers, Greg.

It's somewhat annoying that you can't delete Plugins without deactivating them.I wonder what you don't like in WordPress?
Because for sure there are such things.
Also you can write what you really like
Cheers, Greg.

Everything on Wordpress is perfect, except the new editor.
I actually have a love and hate relationship with the new editor, because it's handy to write a structured article, but it sucks when you need to put two images in the same row/segment.
Anyway, it's still better than Joomola.
*Edit*
I forgot to mention the spams. Ugh, I hate them!

I consider WP as to manual as Shopify is automatic. Most prefer automatic, but I can drive both.
Everything php does something else does better and more efficient. Better frameworks and libraries elsewhere, it's becoming the black sheep of the internet but it does have the advantage of being widely supported I guess. It's a very situational language which has been made to do things it isn't really good at for the sake of that support. So I use PHP but rarely these days. But whatever language you are comfy in is generally fine.

Maybe WP need solid competitor ?
I don't think there will be a better competitor for WordPress any time soon. Google seem to love websites based on WordPress, ranking them better and encouraging people to use it for its simplicity and user-friendly.

@Heisenberg - anyway, WordPress need at least 10 plugins to make it useful enough, when we talking about SEO. All of them can be included without wasting time to their correct setup.
@Harlet sure, not everyone is in deep love to Php
But it not mean, that Php is bad. Because it's really nice and fast scripting language.
Personally I am not a fan of any frameworks, I prefer dedicated piece of code in max few files which is far away faster.
WordPress making a tons of I/O requests to open the files which include sometines few lines of code:
@pop3 @LonghairedPaul @LeapOfFaith @Rains @WannaBeIzaya
You can change the editor by downloading the plugin mentioned by @Greasedonkey
Also there is a many ways to compete with much better features/speed/security/resources which allow to get pretty nice results without spending a lot of $$ for fast WP hosting.
But for sure will be very hard to compete with number of themes available for WP,
However some people can find their 5 minutes to earn money in this niche with new product.
Cheers, Greg.

Working great
WordPress not was become popular in few days - it was several years.

Can be slow, code is bloated with unnecessary stuff unless you're creating themes from scratch. Of course there are ways around this to speed it up, but it will never be as fast or secure as html sites with no database. Having said that, the user friendliness and time saved in using WP > Html, great for beginners with no website knowledge.

What I don't like:
1) DB structure. It's fine for a blog, but when you use WP for e.g. a shop, the meta table becomes bloated with attributes; and makes your shop slower.
2) Everything gets included at once. There's no option to lazy load the core files, the last time I checked. That's like having a bloatware. If you have used any modern framework in any programming language, you will know the advantage of lazy loading for sure.
3) Used by everyone. That's a problem for me, atleast. It leaves more footprint that can be exploited. I would rather want to have something custom made than having to use WP.
What I like:
1) They have pretty good documentation. This is primarily why people find WP easy to work with. I wish other softwares such as Magento followed this.
2) The admin looks good.
3) Amount of open source code available for WP is insane.

If you dislike the slow speed or slow loading code of a standard Wordpress, search for the tighter, faster loading themes that are out there. If the new editor is a problem (and it definitely is), use the classic editor plugin as suggested. WP is probably the most popular CMS because its open source foundation allows people to solve the above problems relatively easily for the users who insist on the fixes.

What I don't like in WP:
(except mentioned earlier things)
1) WP isn't able to cooperate with CloudFlare with maximum caching without paying $200 for CloudFlare.
Because you not will be able even to log-in and in most themes not will be possible to leave the comment.
2) There is a lot of awesome WP themes which need a lot of work to make them fast enough.
@Gogol
I am agree with you, for people like you my solutions will be have great sense
Nothing will beat the html
Nginx has great feature - you can even pre compress html files to gzip - what minimize the resource usage for compressing mentioned files.
@InfinityPeace
I think, each new WP user at begining testing a lot of themes / plugins and WP features.
Cheers, Greg.

I don't like the new editor.
No options to change colors of elements within the editor, such as buttons, etc, requiring custom CSS to do this.
Best regards.
