Yes wordpress have some issues with the security and spams. but if you update wordpress regularly when a update arrive. then most of the security problems will be solved.

It seems like they are, to a degree, comparable regarding features, plugins, community building, etc. I agree that the database queries may be very heavy with WordPress.

I disagree that all WordPress sites look the same. The world just needs more WordPress designers/developers.

Though an old post but I found it interesting. I was not a fan of WP, tried to use it, twice, failed because I would not wrap my head around it and resent how it dictate how I should built a site. I am a Modx and Textpattern fan, the former is super great for CMS, with basic blog feature for the current version. Textpattern is depressing due to its slow development.

Magento is great, my clients want WordPress blog Now I am finding I am learning WordPress. Still a bit resenting it, but I guess I have come to my sense, especially seeing how nice the WP 2.7 is. So I am giving WordPress a chance, and convincing myself it shouldn’t be bad to have a new skillset under my belt after all.

As for a real CMS. Really, try out the Modx, and the next version will be the Revolution. Hmmm, Magento + Modx (Revolution) + WordPress under one’s belt, one can be a super duper web developer

Hi, yeah you are correct in all of your statements. I just pulled some user thought from a LinkedIn question I posted. I will also probably update this post and bring some conclusion on my own. Without it, this post makes not much sense.

PHP’s track record for security is pretty bad

Security is not a part of the programming language itself, security is the part of the right development.

Database queries may be very heavy

This is not WordPress’s issue. If you run EXPLAIN against the query that a clean WordPress installation issues, you will find that they are pretty well optimized. Performance issues/heavy queries (and even security vulnerabilities) appear when you start to use the 3rd party plugins. If a man is a good programmer, this does not mean that it understands well how the database engine works. Most of the plugins are tested in mostly clean WP installations (couple of users, several posts etc) – and without special analysis it may not be clear that the approach the author used does not scale well.

Many of the themes have a tendency to look the same or similar

Again, do you really think that it is WordPress disadvantage?
Many themes (esp. free ones) are the same inside except for copyrights/graphics
