Re: #1 – Hosting might be a pain but shouldn’t stop people evolving tech. Services like http://hostghost.io/ have already arrived to deal with this. I’m not a developer and using the beta release of Ghost for the last couple of weeks has been an eye-opener. It makes the editorial experience on WordPress seem very outdated, but obviously wordpress has c. 10 years of bells and whistles which solve other web challenges. It’s going to be interesting to see how everything stands in 12 months time.
