And then you install another plugin to mask WP's poor performance. And then you install another plugin to attempt to merge those masses of CSS and JS together.
Inevitably, you end up with a teetering mess that performs poorly, doesn't scale well, and is a nightmare to maintain. For low budgets or low expectations, WordPress is fine. There are any number of other much better choices, which incidentally are what the higher paying jobs also require.
WordPress really is the Chicken McNugget of the web world.
every keystroke here is true as god sees it.
