This article for me fails to provide the number one key comparison why I use wordpress. The availability of plugins for nearly everything, almost always free. The community aspect is the most important factor for most people selecting wordpress I feel. Especially in the non-commercial context.

WordPress gives me the perfect mix of control and easy extensions on demand, without effort.

I agree

I tried Wix for a while

But to be honest I really love wordpress.

The number of plugins is insane.

The bad thing about wordpress is the security.

I feel like if you run a wordpress site its more likley to get security vuanrbilities than a site that runs on another CMS

the list is pretty cool due, it shows some alternatives I never saw before

I've had good experiences with https://wpengine.com/ for corporate sites anyway. It's not free, but a security incident can be far more costly.
