ideologically i align with Ghost CMS but the limitations around the editor experience kind of makes this a non starter for my company. i know you can insert HTML snippets/embeds but having to do that can be kind of cumbersome. 

PayloadCMS is cool, despite it being open source, my worry is around it being VC funded. if/when they get acquired it’s only a matter of time before it becomes abandonware then the burden of maintenance is on me as the sole dev in the company.

i honestly can’t shake the feeling of getting rug pulled from companies that are VC backed. i can thank the browser company for that. VC backed companies are anti-user and for the last decade have not been built to last.
