"WordPress, on the other hand, does allow much more flexibility but it runs on PHP and its not the 90s anymore and PHP’s logo is an elephant, which, you know, speed. I needed something modern."

This is the most petty reason I've ever seen someone give to not use WordPress. There are a number of reasons why you'd prefer a headless CMS over WordPress to build a backend. It not being "modern" enough is definitely not one of them.

@swiftyBug do you really think that WordPress is modern? It has a great community & is very well maintained but its compared to Sentry or Strapi ( which is a $1000 per year for the substantial plan) its not modern at all.

I don't think it is modern, nor do I think it is outdated. I just don't think that something being "modern" is the best trait to be evaluated when choosing a technology.

“I also looked into sentry.io which is one of the best headless CMS out there but the pricing plans were very much beyond what I can afford.”

Am I missing a joke here?

@paranorman if I paid $312 bucks every time I wanted to test out an idea I'd be broke in very little time.

I don't think this post is very substantive. If I had to guess, this wasn't written by a human even.
