Hey! Laravelians Can You Tell Me?
Why WordPress annoys a custom developer...🤔

To me, it's the mess it promotes. I've never seen a WordPress site made well. The mix of plugins and custom code is very detrimental to quality in my opinion. Also, the paradigm of WordPress is very bad in my opinion, as everything is just a function. For contrast, I prefer Laravel's OOP paradigm more.

Not exactly just function. Now plugin dev/core team follow OOPS, Design patterns :)
But developer experience is not good like Symfony/Laravel etc. Devs hate it, but clients like it for web pages / cms

In response to @kish2011
Ok I only worked in limited manner with recent wordpress but still had to use the global functions to set some custom route handling ( with limited success)

WP started in 2003. Now things are changed a lot. PHP is changed. Backward compatibity is top priority for WP. They can't change anything drastically.

Yes and that is why I don't like it's code structure. I just stated what I don't like.
