Kevinjohn Gallagher decides to move his business away from WordPress

I don’t think I’m in a very good position to judge WordPress’ performance in large-scale enterprise situations. My development and client experience isn’t as broad as most, and I spend most of my time on a single (but active) installation of WordPress. So I always find criticisms of WordPress like the one Kevinjohn Gallagher http://kevinjohngallagher.com/2012/01/wordpress-has-left-the-building/“>lays out in his post to be particularly interesting reads.

He has comments turned off on his blog, so refer to the discussion on Hacker News and WPTavern, or chat about it below.
