Red Sweater Blog - WordPress To Disable Remote Access

Daniel Jalkut, developer behind the popular OS X blogging app MarsEdit, on WordPress’ decision to disable remote access by default in version 2.6 and beyond:

WordPress’s decision to shut off remote access by default is analogous to a bank offering unrestricted drive-through access to its cash machines, while requiring pedestrians to ring a bell and wait for a security guard to open the door to the machines.

I don’t know if a new crew has taken the reigns of WordPress recently, but some really, really poor design and functionality decisions have been made since that $29 million VC score. Jalkut nailed this one.
