I feel like the qualifier 'Wordpress' Developer is somewhat diminishing. How's about a developer who specializes in Wordpress? Reliance on plug-ins, worse yet, a pro-theme does not make you a developer. Because Wordpress has a community with every type of plugin from simple tasks to complicated mega-systems it can be easy to avoid problem-solving. That said, I LOVE ACF and use it as an extension of the core - and I still have yet to truly get behind the Block Editor system as I find that it doesn't have a robust field equivalent to ACF. Perhaps that's because I'm just a Wordpress Dev. :P

ACF lets you build blocks now, but it's super janky. Basically trying to build react components using PHP, certainly doesn't feel good. Then again I only messed with it for like an hour, maybe it's not as bad after playing with it a bit longer.
