Using WordPress has allowed me and my company to deliver amazing websites with a great cost-benefit relation. We also realized that developing with WordPress allows the project to be ready much faster than if we code from scratch or use other frameworks.

"Great example of an open source project that also rewards developers in the long run"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress is the most popular CMS today that is open source. In other words, one just needs a hosting space to launch a website. There are tons of free themes and plugins to begin with. Just because they are free does not mean they are not powerful or effective. The concept here is let the startups and small businesses start with the least cost. Once they grow up and start generating revenue, then go for the paid themes and plugins. In other words, I will like to see developers of themes and plugins be rewarded while creating increased value for the audience of my website. The philosophy of open source WordPress.org seems to follow this. If you are a developer, then sky is the limit. Apply your coding skills and generate something unique and innovative!

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Being PHP based, there are limitations that comes with the PHP language. Given the thrust like of headless WordPress these days, many of the shortcomings are gradually addressed.

What problems is WordPress.org solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use WordPress for launching all our websites/online stores. We use free themes and plugins extensively while also going for some paid ones if there is a budget or makes business sense. Not only our websites built with WordPress cost effective but also incorporates latest tools and technologies, thanks to an army of developers associated with this open source project.
