    I miss MAMP though.. sometimes VVV is just annoying

  3. Shawn Hooper Avatar

    No desire to go back to WAMP/MAMP/XAMP. Only DesktopServer, Vagrant or Docker for me now.

    @royboy789 VVV can be annoying, but it’s made working on Core much easier than it used to be (IMHO).

    modules can be turned off

  17. Verious Smith III Avatar

    It does add complexity,.

    @royboy789 you’re totally right. There are def clients you don’t want in there. I guess you have to pick and choose who you want to give that responsibility…

  19. David Bell Avatar

    So many of my clients THINK they want to make changes and then when they find they need to actually LEARN things about BB or WP, then they kind of change their tune.

  20. Adam Thomson Avatar

    Everything has a learning curve though. I give clients the benefit of the doubt …until I don’t.

    install BB, done

  22. David Bell Avatar

    I will never code, so BB is awesome for me.

  23. Bridget Willard Avatar

    @AdamThomson lol exactly

    I would not use squarespace and wix interchangeably

  27. Adam Thomson Avatar

    Send them to Wix”

  28. David Bell Avatar

    I can never figure out which of those is better. Is one clearly superior for all instances?

  29. Adam Thomson Avatar

    WP+PageBuilder INSTEAD OF Wix or Squarespace imo.

  30. David Bell Avatar

    Agree Adam 🙂

  31. Verious Smith III Avatar

    There are over 58 page builders for WordPresss

  32. David Bell Avatar

    I am pretty sure I have looked at at least 50 of those, are any better than BB?

  33. Verious Smith III Avatar

    Similar to JetPack?

  34. Bridget Willard Avatar

    @VeriousSmithIII 🙂
