<p>It's always "in most cases". I simply don't see space for WordPress on green field sites anymore. If something is so small it does not require CMS - it's better to use pure HTML. Otherwise "in most cases" it's better to use headless CMS.</p>

<p>Mandatory reminder - don't use WordPress in 2025.<p>Use headless CMS plus static site generator.

<p>This article could be titled what’s wrong with Linux desktop - but current title is plain stupid. Plenty of people are using it as main OS mainly because all other alternatives have either privacy issues or some dumb gold cage limitations and privacy issues. I don’t think author is dumb - it’s catchy title due to hubris issues.</p>

<p>1) EU can workaround you - you can't workaround EU. Size is not proportional.<p>2) It's obvious - fin-tech have virtual companies to lower taxes in Switzerland, lot of individuals try to get Swiss tax residence to lower taxes. Switzerland knows that and allows that.<p>5) My point is - if Switzerland want to be secure inside EU it should pay fee to secure external EU borders. That would be a fair deal.</p>

<p>I do consider Switzerland doings as hostile to EU.<p>1) Switzerland gain on using EU transportation and free market but does not contribute fair fee to maintain and build it.<p>You can tax EU - we will see who will survive.<p>2) Switzerland does unfair tax competition<p>3) Switzerland helped hide EU citizens untaxed money (maybe still does)<p>4) Switzerland helps Russian oligarchs maintain their wealth and many other criminals all around the world.<p>5) Last but not least:
If Switzerland does not care about Ukraine dying because it is ‘neutral’ and yet still wants safe borders, then I don’t fucking care about Switzerland well being.</p>

<p>Apart from the root issue here someone need to remind that Switzerland is the parasite of EU. Basically they have all EU rights and no obligations. EU should tax them heavily so that they contribute to solve e.g. EU transportation issues.</p>

<p>those are two separate questions.<p>Compared to old VS: First and foremost: feature richness of refactorings, code inspections and plugins - basically in the IntelliJ you have everything Reharper plugin can do for .NET and probably more. Second IntelliJ can run on non-spying operating systems. Third it's much more resource friendly for bigger projects. Last but not least ItelliJ is keyboard user friendly (e.g. you can jump and resize windows using only keyboard).<p>Can't say much about vscode vs IntelliJ. When I tried it last time Java plugin was not there. I could not use ItelliJ keyboard shortcuts - also code formatting and refactoring options were worse than in the itelliJ. That's to be expected it's paid product after all.</p>

<p>I went from C# to JVM/gradle and have the opposite experience.<p>1) default C# IDE is junk compared to IntelliJ
2) Gradle give you insane level of control over project you can even build dynamic template tasks shown in IntelliJ UI using Kotlin/Groovy
3) JVM ecosystem is much bigger and default framework SpringBoot is ready to use with houndreds of integrations which are either non existent or hards to use in .NET as opposed to SpringBoot where you have batteries included approach e.g. want outbox pattern? Simply use modulith, convention over configuration will give you some nice defaults… 
4) There are plenty of widely used langs compared to .NET if you don’t like modern Java (which is on the same level as C# IMHO) you have: Kotlin which is a better lang than C#, Scala, Groovy from the mainstream ones and Clojure and probably many more lesser known.
5) There is nothing as expressive as Groovy Spock for testing in .Net world.<p>There are issues I see but can be easy mitigated e.g.
I don’t like default Java heavy ORM (especially mapping complicated two way relations) but it’s very easy to not use them and simply relay on mapping foreign key.<p>To sum it up I bet your issues are mostly you don’t know ecosystem well enough.</p>
