On: ACF has been hijacked

What an ego trip... now I'll definitely stop considering WordPress, even if it perfectly fills the use-case (mine or client's).

I know it was frustrating for Automattic to see WPEngine as a leecher, but to be this hostile and volatile does not inspire confidence. What if you had a WP instance hosted by Automattic and said something the leadership does not approve? Will you get banned with no way of recovering your website? (Ghost had a similar story.)

Slightly tangential, ACF support forum https://wordpress.org/support/topic/if-this-is-the-fork-wher... had many users calling out Matt regarding this unethical takeover; all comments are now purged and thread locked.

What’s the story with Ghost?
