What engine to study?

Question

MODX

Which engine is better to choose for learning how to create bulletin boards, online stores, blogs, corporate websites?
Modx, opencart, wordpress?
And what is good about this or that engine?

Answer 1

MODX is a good system, but has been stagnating lately, and no one knows if a miracle will happen and if it will get a second wind. But you can do a lot on it and quite easily.
Wordpress is a chaotic engine without any architecture and is absolutely not suitable for any serious projects. Yes, it is very popular, but only because at one time it had an extremely low entry threshold, when novice freelancers made websites on templates for freebies.
So the question, first of all, should be put like this: why is it planned to study the engine?
For a quick solution to some practical problems "here and now", MODX is best suited. Make a catalog, a corporate website, a simple store - quickly and easily.
If we are talking about prospects, about long-term investment in knowledge, it is better to consider tools that are now gaining weight and popularity. Laravel in the PHP world, Node.JS and headless CMS concepts in the JS world.
You can monitor the popularity in two ways: by writing the name of a technology in the search on upwork.com, you can see the number of orders for it. And you can also see the time slice on Google Trends.
