CyrilMazur··on Why WordPress theming sucks
Nope, I don't follow up the WordPress development at all so I can't judge

However, I can't believe none of the WordPress developers has never suggested to rewrite it using nowadays technologies?

If it worked like that, WordPress would already be OOPed and MVCed isn't it?

For my defence, I also lead you to the get_search_form() function that does NOT return the search form as a variable, but that really writes it as HTML

So what, don't have I the right to bitch around WP naming for functions?

I don't know much about Blogger, but as it's a SAAS, how customisable is it? Can you host your own PHP pages, can you do really what you want with the theme?

I think there are differences to consider between hosted blogs and blog scripts you can actually install on your own server and customise the way you want.

Am I right?

And what are this so-called thousands of Google results from countless other developers who have done the same and much more? Dirty workarounds that shouldn't be necessary if WordPress had been made properly in the first place. That's only what the author says: although WordPress rocks to propel blogs, it's far from being made of good code.
