How to choose the best blogging platform. Unsurprisingly, they chose #WordPress, and specifically the self-hosted ".org" version of WordPress.
Based on their criteria, it is hard to argue that most widely-used platforms are either harder to use or may be hard to get a useful export if you decide to leave them. I just think that since WP sites are said to be about 1/4 of the Web and they are constantly under attack, it can be difficult and frustrating to keep up with updates (and especially updates to add-ons / extensions and themes) or to know when to disable / delete an add-on that isn't being updated quickly enough in response to a security exploit.
People *do* need to learn to take some responsibility for their own only presences, but then we need to make sure they know up front that this is part of the package.
