No, it is a simple blog engine that has been stretched, shimmed, cranked, and jerry-rigged beyond all recognition and sanity.

The very idea that people try to host e-commerce on the platform is an embarrassment and a shame to security and safety.

It encourages the pattern of hiring non-technical staff to manage the blog-store-landing-page-franken-whatever site, who are in turn encouraged to install reams of untrusted code via plugins.

It is built on a frankly bizarre pattern of page and route management. It uses broken versions of a fairly broken language. It is enormously resource-hungry.

I could go on, but to sum up, my experience working with WordPress has been nothing but a repeated nightmare.
