How is it a slap in the face? If anything, it validates the direction and decision John O' Nolan took with Ghost. Even John recognizes this.

Now that the world’s largest Content Management System is going in the same direction, there could be no better validation that decision we made 3 years ago was the correct one. We’ve fucked up a lot of things since Ghost started, and we’ve learned from all of them, but I’m very pleased we got this one right.

Overall this move is huge, both for the WordPress ecosystem, as well as open source as a whole.
