    Is it though? While Matt Mullenweg is a douche, he wasn’t wrong about WP Engine contributing nothing to open source WordPress development.

      There’s other stuff that Matt has said and done that isn’t sitting well with me. Plus, with the purchase of Day One, in one sense, they’ve confirmed its longevity. But in another sense, it’s consolidated power into the hands of a person who is becoming problematic.

      Plus, as someone else said (I’ll look for the source), this WP Engine stuff could have been better communicated by Matt.
