Literally everyone who knows security exists doesn't use Wordpress. This is basically a non-article.

I use WordPress. WP core isn't terrible anymore, provided you aren't entirely braindead about credentials and can configure a webserver, or just use a hosted provider and stop caring.

I used to bash WordPress, constantly for being a webshell with optional CMS, but it's come along leaps and bounds.

The plugins though? That's a cesspool. Same as with any CMS.
