> editors still want WP, because this or that plugin

So you are saying that you are still missing functionality

Nope, I'm saying they don't need this functionality.

But the editors want. So... I guess you are out of touch with your own clients. Either you actually don't know their needs, or you didn't take the time to sit with them to explain why they shouldn't have that

We don't have enough time to convince them against a whole ecosystem built around false assumptions. But we don't have to either, since we're in position to force them to change their methods. And the reason why we're in this position is because they've fucked up their WP install in the first place.
