CMS Filesize Comparison
by Eddie DalePeople probably disagree with the usefulness of a blunt size-comparison between CMS'es. But I find it a great indication of complexity vs simplicity, tendencies of bloat, load times.
I thought this post was really interesting, and telling about the amount of bloat that a lot of CMS's have.
I was expecting WordPress to be heavy, but I was really surprised by the size of Craft and Stratamic. They're orders of magnitude bigger than Kirby.
Really glad I switched, now.
I also really like how simple the design of Eddie's site is.
