New comment by Theodores in "Docker Considered Harmful"

Silly question, but I have heard that around a fifth of the websites that you see on the internet use 'Wordpress'. 'Wordpress' is a simple blogging platform that has a really nice editor that people like working with. There are many add-ons for 'Wordpress' that enable people to customise what it does and what it looks like. These can complicate matters, however, at the end of the day, 'Wordpress' is just a neat blogging tool and does not require rocket surgery to work with.

In this age of fancy build tools and containerisation, is it necessary and advantageous to develop 'Wordpress' with Docker, Vagrant or any other containerisation?

I could see this as being helpful if you are only allowed a consumer operating system, e.g. Microsoft Windows, but is containerisation the way one would develop a simple Wordpress site if your company's IT department allowed you to run a linux machine?

Admittedly 'Wordpress' is the Hello World of getting online but I genuinely do not know if containerisation is what people would do these days for such a simple use case.
