Sure, you like the technology you have now. But is it really a fit for what you’re trying to do long term? That’s a tough analysis to undertake, but sometimes it’s necessary, especially when it comes to open-source components.
Recently, I found myself pondering this as I debated which content management system to use for a personal project. The CMS I’ve used since the start of that project has treated me well, but some concerns with the tool’s long-term direction had cropped up in my head, and I was worried that it was diverging from the things I hoped to do with my project. Additionally, while it seemed the right way to go early on, I felt like I was outgrowing it.
This has happened to me a few times in the past, in different ways. Sometimes, I’ve switched my CMS because I was trying to tap into a community and was willing compromise some functionality to reach that larger goal. Other times, I wanted the freedom and creativity earned by going off the beaten path. (In other words, I don’t use WordPress these days.)
