I build websites in Wordpress as its more effective use of my time. It has some limitations, but it also allows me to turn the keys over to customers (theoretically, some customers are just a NO). I also don't do this full time. It is effective for what I need. CSS and custom coding are really simple too.

@Demolishun I don't have too much experience with front-end on WP (aside from some small fixes). I usually work on the back-end or admin pages. So that's the point of view I took on it.

Btw, did I mention the amount of hops every single action takes to complete a single branch (I had to follow one through ~6 different filters/actions/transients [and yes caching is a control flow method apparently]). Also, ajax handler is escaping super globals just to be safe or something and every single plugin checks it's state on EVERY FUCKING REQUEST making the site unusable without caching the whole response or implementing similarly agressive caching methods.
I've always thought that Wordpress is HOT CARBAGE for custom solutions. The opinion is influenced by devRant actually. And I'm really starting to see that after few of months working with it.
For context, it's a accommodation booking site with sub-theme that uses plugins such as Woocommerce Bookings. I didn't build it but I'm now developing and maintaining it.
The emails... I've tried to make them function properly. But no. Because we skip the fucking verification step to allow instant booking it just won't send them. I made yet another workaround and casted some spells. NOW IT SENDS THE EMAIL TWICE...
I'm done. It's good enough.
