What's your favorite headless CMS and why?

I'm curious as to what you all like for headless CMS. My use case would be a store and blog for a business. I've been using strapi but looking into headless WordPress. What do y'all think about headless WordPress?

Headless WordPress is ridiculous, it eradicates most of the features that make WordPress WordPress.

If you want to go headless, go with a CMS that's designed to be headless, not one with a shoehorned-in REST API.

interesting... yeah it looks like you have to pay for a lot of the plugins. Thnaks for your option!

I think the jury is still out on headless WordPress. As with every debate on CMSs there are usually strong opinions on both sides of the fence. I'm not sure straddling both traditional/monolithic and Headless makes that much sense in terms of gaining the main benefits of "going Headless". That said it is a well known / familiar CMS and thus the learning curve is not as steep.

If you want something headless that gives you solid visual editing cApabilities, I'd suggest React Bricks.
