Gatsby and Next.js seem to be fiercely competing both in terms of features and for users. But are they the same tool by different names? Is one better than the other?

This is a huge milestone for us and a vote of confidence from the community that we're building something awesome: the world's only open source headless CMS built on serverless technology. It has built-in file storage, a no-code page builder, unlimited locales for internationalization, and multi-tenancy. Try it out today!

Ghost's editor is probably the best I've seen. However if you're looking for content types or fields outside of what they provide its a challenge to add them because the CMS is written in EmberJS. As a straight-up blog (and membership platform) it does its job very well but I'm not inclined to use it beyond that.

WordPress is pretty good until you start adding loads of content because it's built-in API is REST. You can get a lot more out of a plugin which adds a GraphQL layer to WordPress, but I have experienced issues with that before because GraphQL is strict on types whereas WordPress (based on PHP) is dynamic, so if there's a type mismatch (say for example someone has a number as a slug, where elsewhere it's a string) the GraphQL layer can break unexpectedly.
