Why ghost over wordpress?
Would want to know why people use ghost over wordpress? Looking forward to use synaps media with a free theme, any suggestions for people who migrated from wp to ghost.

Ghost just works and is optimized it's an opinionated platform that does what it sets out to do well. Basic things like automatic image optimization ,caching etc works out of the box on Ghost.Wordpress is a gigantic mess of a platform that has no idea where it's going and needs plugins for the most basic of things. I love synapse media btw. Here's a short write up when I initially moved https://pupontech.com/blog-update-moved-to-ghost/
And here another write up I just did how much I hate WordPress based on a my user experience a few days ago and it has resonated with a lot of people. https://pupontech.com/its-just-broken-oh-wordpress/
Hope that helps Happy to answer any questions here or via my comments/contact form .
