I have recently been brought on as a front end developer for a web-app. The app&#x27;s basic premise is that the user can enter in a bunch of different inputs, then based on that the software crunches some numbers, performs some logic, and gives the user an output in a nice &amp; pretty format. It will also allow the user to view all the historical outputs in a clean sortable way.<p>The whole stack so far has been built in wordpress, and the backend guy insists it is best to stay that route. I have floated the possibility of a more traditional MVC web framework (rails, node&#x2F;express, laravel) however they say it&#x27;s best to stick to wordpress.<p>Do you think all things considered this is a good strategy? In terms of scale we of course hope we get to the point of having 1000s or 10,000s of active users and will continue to build out new features based on feedback we get.<p>What would be the pros&#x2F;cons of each option (wordpress vs MVC web framework) for an idea like this? Thanks so much guys
