I believe that what walod refers to is the astounding number of people calling themselves &quot;developers&quot; while installing vanilla WordPress with a few plugins and a theme, and changing a few admin options. There&#x27;s certainly nothing wrong in using WordPress as a framework (which many of us do to cut down time wasted on building CRUD and ACL and DB layers etc), it&#x27;s just that now everyone is suddenly a WordPress developer once they know how to install WordPress from the web host&#x27;s admin panel.
