This person’s answer is ‘No!’<\/a>. Looks like someone in the blog platform world has declared that the WordPress community has learned the lessons the Struts<\/a> community learned a few years ago: If you document an open source system, provide plenty of examples and a supportive community, you can distance yourself from your competitors. Make it easy for the developers (QT)<\/a> to choose you<\/a>!<\/p>\n

He states:<\/p>\n

…the blogging market is c.l.o.s.e.d. \u2013 as in no more room<\/strong>, and most importantly, no more competition<\/strong>… [emphasis his]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Regarding the strength of Struts, as of today, Dice has 1965 jobs matching ‘struts’, versus 176 for ‘rails’, 1481 for ‘spring’ and 493 for ‘JSF’. Now, it’s been a while since I commented on web frameworks<\/a>, but it’s a pleasant surprise to see Spring approach Struts. Yes, yes, my methodology for documenting the ‘distance’ of Struts from its competitors is somewhat suspect. I don’t have access to book trends data, and what I can find<\/a> doesn’t break things down to the framework level. Thanks for caring.)<\/p>\n

However, Spring looks to be on the rise; even the most popular packages and\/or platforms can fall from popularity. Especially in technology, where “new” is often a feature. Hence, I disagree with the statement that WordPress has locked down the blogging application market. My point is not argued from a knowledge of WordPress, but rather a knowledge of technology and tech trends.<\/p>\n
