I didn't call anyone an idiot, and if you haven't read any poor reviews for WP, then you live in a very small world. I stated my opinion, that's all. I'm not looking for an argument.

Ok what about the several thousand great reviews about that you can find on the web?

i think if you know how to use it and make it secure WP is great, if you don;t than it's another story.

They are not idiots, but they probably have not sent enough traffic to it to make it unstable. Ive had a few huge blogs that recieved so much traffic that it kept shutting down or freezing up my mysql database. When you have a database thats 8+ gigs in size and gets hammered with 20, 30, or 40 thousand unique visitors daily it tends to become quite unstable. A few members of this board have had the same problem i believe.
I like wordpress if im just going to implement sponsor rss feeds(splogs), but for any major projects forget it.

I've had the same problem, a couple of different times. If I were to build another big blog project, it would not be on WP.

I still use WP for some things as it does have it's uses but I really limit what I do with the script.

Number of users is no guarantee of quality. For example Windows is one of the worst written programs in the history of badly written programs, yet billions of people use that!

You need to get out more - I don't use Wordpress (I wrote my own blog software to run my blogs - that way it does exactly what I want it to do), so have no interest in it, but even so I have heard similar comments several times before.

'Tis you who say it! But just because you have to use a piece of crap because it is the "industry standard", does not make you an idiot for using it. Workbench/Kickstart is still a lot better than Windows or MacOS, but there is not the software for it, and since computers have got a lot faster since it was last updated, the machines that can use Workbench/Kickstart are very slow by today's standards - so most people use Windows or MacOS. Many of these know that they are using an inferior OS, but they have no choice, that does not make them idiots. I am guessing that most Wordpress users are not idiots either, they just use what is to hand.
