WordPress FSE diminishing returns

WordPress FSE is a lesson in diminishing returns. The complexity-to-flexibility ratio doesn't make sense when modern stacks just work.

You spend hours fighting with block themes, learning new patterns, and debugging template issues. Meanwhile, a modern stack site does the same thing in a fraction of the time.

The overhead isn't worth it anymore. When you can write content in Markdown, translate it automatically, and deploy anywhere—the CMS feels like an anchor, not a tool.

Sometimes simpler really is better.
