WordPress itself isn't a problem. Leach away my FOSS fans. Heck, customization up the wazoo. For a developer, it's really really easy to make it your own. A competent developer can be taught WordPress CMS and understand what's under the hood within a few weeks.

Contributing back to WordPress? Getting harder and harder with Matt being the biggest barrier.

It's becoming one of those scenarios like Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Fuck those companies. But I'll build apps on your platform and play by your stupid ass rules to earn a living while also giving you the finger.
