We no longer do custom WordPress work --- it turned out to never be worth the hassle --- but when we did, our company used ACF extensively. High quality plugin with responsive support and very fair licensing terms.

This --- to me --- smacks of complete bullshit.

It is complete bullshit, but calling ACF high quality is also pretty out there.

It's one of those giants in WP that is stuck in the past, arguably much like a lot of core.

To be fair we haven’t worked with WP in 4 years; our experience with ACF was always positive.

4 years ago it was still great. I had one contact with WPE support since they bought the plugin last year or so and it was the most frustrating support interaction I ever had. It felt like I was writing with an AI that was prompted to drive me crazy so that I would leave them alone.
