When you spend a lot of time with it you get a distinct feel about WordPress developer experience. Some parts get job done and other are synonymous with trouble. Yet there is rarely organized conversation about this. Which WordPress APIs perform well and why? How do we get more to that point?
I had run WordPress APIs Developer Satisfaction survey to get some measured insights.
Responses
Survey asked two questions of participants:
Their development experience with WordPress — on the scale from 1–Novice to 5–Expert.
How would they rate WordPress APIs on the list of 30 — with possible ratings of: Horrible, Bad, Normal, Good, Excellent.
The results are summarized in following chart.
You can see raw responses and processed results as a spreadsheet. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Survey attracted responses from experienced developers. 62.7% rated their WordPress experience level 5/5 and 31.3% — 4/5.
The distribution of API ratings was:
40.3% positive (Good or Excellent)
33.1% Normal
26.6% negative (Bad or Horrible)
