I have a custom PHP app that includes marketing pages.
I'd like to crowbar Wordpress into the server to serve the marketing pages instead, to make it easie to change text over time.
A .htaccess set of redirect rules may indeed work, but it's hard work to keep all URLs working.
It really depends on which tools you use. Yes, wp has a horrific URL routing mechanism, and on top of that can randomly redirect 404 pages by guessing the target.
