A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
What both worries and annoys me about Wordpress is that within the quote "With the update to WordPress 5.5, a migration tool known as jQuery-migrate will no longer be enabled by default. This may lead to unexpected behaviors in some themes or plugins who run older code", they are admitting that they have released a breaking change, but haven't bumped the version in a semantic manner.
They should have released this as version 6.0 so people knew they would need to take more time to look through the changes and test further. If I update something with only a bump in the minor version, I don't expect it to break anything.
Ok, so there are a lot of other things which annoy me about Wordpress, and this just adds to the list. But every time I read something about the platform, I wonder why people still use it. That, sadly, comes down to because people know it, and people don't like change.
Personally I use it because my clients has operated with it. It is indeed easy to use and everything else, but personally I prefer using pure html, css and vanilla js...until then, we use what we have at hand. Again, this is just a opinion from a fresh developer that has less than 2 years in development. 🙂
