Much easier to use than WordPress but not getting support for some plugins and such as WP goes further into developing those content blockheads. I'd like to stick with ClassicPress because I don't need to (again) learn new software but I wish there were more options for plugins. Or no plugins, if they went farther and developed it to be standalone and not need plugins.
Dread filled my heart when the future of WP started filtering through and as much as I wanted to stay with WP, the introduction of Gutenberg and the forthcoming 'improvements' tied in with the total lack of empaphy from the top brass made me search for something else. Thankfully this is where ClassicPress came into play. Future projects are being slowly but surely switched over.
Gutenberg is horrendous for writing long-form content. I tried to warn people before it was released in my extensive post on SmallBizTrends.
ClassicPress is the base code I learned from and worked with for 10 years and I'm glad to see it continue on without drastic (destructive) changes.
