Well, it should mature because if Exchange 2019 has this issue, is lame.

By the time 2019 is EoL'd it'll get fixed.

Wondering if I hate WordPress or I hate web developers with no idea. Maybe neither, maybe both, I don't know

More the web developers with no idea. Of course that implies both.

Is it WP that you do not like, or plugins or themes or some other additional component?

Incomplete list in no special orderWordpress:
- If you update WordPress you risk breaking the site.
- If you don't, you risk being hacked.
- It is too big that the ecosystem is out of control.
Web developers with no idea:
4. They demand cPanel access. And the clients authorize that access (out of my pay grade)
5. The mess with DNS, really, why?
6. They choose poor pluginsAbout points 1 &2: Theory says WordPress is secure but plugins maybe not. So the problem is not WordPress and the solution is to choose good plugins. WordPress is so easy to use that point 3 is on spot. And then I fall on point 6 because everybody can be a WordPress developer/web master. Talk about Catch 22
Right now, I have a production web site down because the web developer insists on using a plugin that breaks the site. I already disabled the plugin twice.
Perhaps I am in the wrong industry, it is just that fell in love IT at first sight

I have never broken WP with updates.

Same here, they seem to be really good. Way, way better than, say, Windows. They "just work". I've been using WordPress for a really long time and support a lot of sites.

Web developers tend to know how to do things, web designers tend to be utterly incompetent with programming and write terrible code regardless of how pretty their sites are, they also choose to use WordPress which is worthy of any hate you throw at it. There's also dumb web developers, but most of them just work for major corporations.

I hate WordPress but I've always praised both their reverse compatibility and their slow crawl toward proper design showing they at least, I think, have some understanding of how bad it is.

This happens from time to time when some project I worked on is handed over to some new guy, they often are baffled by the concept of "I use SSH, I don't install anything on the server not needed, it's just Apache, PHP, and MySQL, and SSH" or whatever.

I have not been that lucky lately. Specially since I am upgrading from PHP 5.6 to 7.2, some plugins just break, although in most cases it is because the plugin is old and has not been updated by the developer.
Anyway, the current case is not a PHP upgrade -
On the train home. Made the 5:46 express by less than a minute.

You are right. I meant web designers -
