This is an amazing question! Despite WordPress (WP) being a robust system and considered the most user-friendly, there are many different content management systems (CMS) available. The company I used to work for used to advocate for WP as the go-to solution for blogs and content-based websites.
However, one of our clients came in with their own requirements:
Frontend: NextJS (Page Router)
CMS: Strapi
We didn't need a backend as Strapi provided REST APIs for the data. Since Strapi is open-source, it boasts numerous existing extended plugins. It offers a great user interface and is self-hostable, although they also offer a paid cloud version.
Working with Strapi made me realize that we can create cutting-edge websites while enjoying the convenience of a CMS for managing content.
I've heard about Strapi and it seems really promising. As a full-stack dev, creating a front-end is not a problem for me, and it will be more efficient for my specific case than a template built for general use.
Yes, Strapi is a good alternative to a lot of problems.
Although it might not be the best solution any places where you actually need a backend. I can recommend for working with a content driven website, but I can't say the same for other alternatives.
