WordPress didn't solve anything. They just got the first. | ||

Nah, the likes of Drupal and others were established before Wordpress was launched, even longer if you consider Wordpress 1 & 2 were “blog software for blogs” more than the behemoth modern versions have become. I think being later actually worked in their favor as they caught the wave that Drupal and others were too early for. They were simpler when a lot of new developers and clients were around and grew in complexity as what people did on the web did, while Drupal and co just seemed bloated, even though arguably modern versions of Wordpress with the plugin setups that are common now are even more complicated than those old version of their competitors at the start | ||

They got there first, then as a result, they have: - a big ecosystem of themes and plugins (especially for SEO) - an army of contractors who can set it up for cheap, and don't know anything else - users who know their way through the UI and don't even think about looking at alternatives | ||
