I don’t think WP sucks, not at all but honestly I’m getting tired of all the new versions coming up so quickly, I manage a lot of websites that run WP, not by a choice of mine but whoever was before me, I like WP but I think they are going over board.

I’m a busy man, and when you’re busy time goes by pretty fast, if I have to upgrade a website today and after 3 or 4 months I have to do another major upgrade I feel like it has been 3 or 4 weeks between updates. One site it’s fine but over 500… oh dear!

Personally I’ve being using WP since version 1.2 and whenever there was a new release I was excited but now I just go “now what!”

If we talk about security, I understand a patch or something but…
a new release that most likely is gonna break something or give even a minor headache is annoying.

How do you feel about Microsoft? I hope you think it’s the users faults for Windows security problems as well.

Lots of up to date WP blogs are hacked as well. Some of the problem isn’t directly attributable to poor code on Wordpress’s part. Plugins and themes can be poorly done, what Wordpress should do is find a way code more securely and sandbox against the plugins and themes.

For now I use Blogger ftp’d to my own server with my own domain.

I just want to pick up on your point about using Fantastico to upgrade your blog. The problem with that is alot of hosts take days/weeks to update new versions within fantastico.

The ultimate way of keeping WordPress uptodate is using Subversion, but on the flipside it’s alot harder than going through fantastico for your average user.

Cool video. I have an article publishing tonight. Seem like Mark’s post has picked up a little momentum. Majority doesn’t accept his rant though. But, I’ll talk more about this in my article tonight. I will add this, I think the WordPress development team does an excellent job with the program and I am a very strong supporter of WordPress.
