Hey all: we build a ton of websites in Craft and I've presented technical topics at their yearly conferences before.

It sure is, and fully open source. https://www.altis-dxp.com/ ( https://www.altis-dxp.com/resources/docs/getting-started/#cr... to jump straight to the download from Composer stuff; https://github.com/humanmade/altis for the repo)
This looks very useful - thanks. The pre-approved plugin list ( https://www.altis-dxp.com/resources/pre-approved-plugins/ ) returns 404 though :(

Also, Statamic is free for personal use now. If you've got some time download a copy and play around with it a bit. It really is the most fun I have had building a site in years. Anecdotally I have heard that many clients prefer Statamic's and CraftCMS' editing experience over WP.
Never heard of Statamic, but that's a really cool landing page!

Those don't belong in core either. Core should focus strictly on the being a rock solid foundation. Plugins are there to supplement that. That's the beauty of the architecture. Or at least, is supposed to be. WordPress should not have the same mindset as Jetpack. Oops? Did I just say that?? ;)
WP is useless without CDN and caching.

How's Redactor working for you? I have constant issues with it.
One thing that’s helped us is making heavy use of Craft’s matrix blocks. That keeps a lot of styling and inline elements out of the WYSIWYG itself. Then we can turn off a lot of the WYSIWYG buttons/features and keep it simple.
