I’m sure dozens of excellent replacements have been created, but WP is just so huge.
It doesn’t matter how messy it is, you’re not going to convince the marketing agency with 10 Wordpress devs to learn something else.
It’s probably also relevant that WP is so weird and different from other frameworks.

I’m not hating on them, but you can use WP in ways that don’t give you skills to use other tech.
Yeah, you can get a WP site up and running with all the functionality you need to support different types of businesses and business ideas cheap on fiverr. Validate and move on.
