Ten thousand reasons to use Textpattern

This post could have been me, for when discovering ProcessWire (https://processwire.com/) after 10-ish years of Drupal (also trying out Joomla, Wordpress, Typo3... (well tried installing it at least) and perhaps a few others).

The main differences would be that in Processwire, you don't even need to install plugins, as all different types of displays are so easily created from scratch in the pure-PHP templates, using PW's extremely awesome jquery-like API for getting content (see the cheatsheet for an idea: https://cheatsheet.processwire.com/).

>I thought WordPress had squashed tp long ago.

Wordpress is much more widely-used. Textpattern is still around!

>supports modern php - but apparently still require mysql/MariaDB - no sqlite, no postgresql support?

Correct. MySQL and store brand remixes mostly work just fine, no plans for SQLite or PostgreSQL as far as I know. Pull requests are welcome!
