Choose WordPress or Publii?

Why choose WordPress?
WordPress is a great choice for individuals or small businesses looking for an all-in-one solution to build a website and blog with a vast ecosystem of plugins and themes. However, it may not be the best fit for those seeking a headless or decoupled architecture, as WordPress is primarily a monolithic platform.
Why choose Publii?
Publii focuses on great editor experience with the block editor. It's a great choice for sites that are statically generated with plenty of choice of blog templates. However, it is not suitable for teams who wants to have custom design or have a blog in the same subdirectory as their main site.
