Funny, I had that happen to me once. I was in a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona and the waiter put a glass of water in front of me. I asked what it was:
"It's water sir" he replied.
"Is there anything in it?" I inquired.
"Certainly not sir, it is pure and clean water sir!" was his defense.
"Well take it away and put some bloody whiskey in there!"

Hello fellow programmers,
I have a dilema, at this point in time, and i was wondering if someone could give an opinion. This post is going to be a little longer than the usual posts, because i have to explain all the pros and cons as far as i see them, so bear with me.
I am an experienced programmer with good knowledge of C++, Win32 API, Flash/ActionScript 2, PHP, MySQL and i can also handle Javascript enough to do something. All the websites that i have created so far were made from scratch, whether they were static or had an admin control panel behind.
Recently i have seen myself put in a position to have to learn how to code a Wordpress theme and also make some structure and functionality changes to the default Wordpress framework, so that it suits my needs. I have taken a look at a few tutorials and at the standard Wordpress theme and i am not yet convinced it is worth the pain.
I could build an entire CMS of my own, first to suit only my current needs but also taking account of possible future features that i may desire. The only thing is it might take longer to do that.
Here's what i hate about Wordpress:
1. Many people like it because it is verry popular: my honest opinion is that no one gives a damn about what framework was used to create a website; a simple visitor will, many times, not even know what Wordpress is.
2. Most wordpress websites look like a blog, even though they are not; and that's because Wordpress is a blogging framework. That is not something to desire when you want a simple presentation website, a portfolio website, etc.
3. I have also seen people have the wrong opinion that Wordpress is best for SEO and everything else is crap; that is totally wrong since, as you all know, it all depends on how you write your HTML;
4. A wordpress is not exactly easy to manage (admin panel) if you are an average user or below. Besides that, many times you have a lot of options that you do not need, so giving this to a client ... i don't know;
5. creating a simple theme may be simple, but adding advanced functionality to the whole website is not so simple;
6. some things do not come in standard in Wordpress; for example multi-language, the ability to detect if the user is on a computer or portable device (and hence switch to another theme, more apropriate). Yes, i know there are plugins, but still ..
The only good thing that i see in learning Wordpress is that you can make money by selling themes on special websites.
So, my dillema is: is it worth the time and energy consumed to learn how to code a WP theme and add special functions that do not already exist ? Or should i just go ahead and write my own CMS, since i am able to do that and it is only a matter of time ?
Thank you for reading such lengthy question.
All best

I only develop my own applications from scratch, gives me better flexibility and more control, if the user wants a wordpress or some type of pre-built cms, they should go ask someone who likes using those frameworks, but personally myself am not a fan. I'm not saying they are all bad, I just don't like working with them.

I'm both a Wordpress user and (beginner) developer. I must say that as a developer, I quite hate it, but as a user, it's totally awesome.

My feelings exactly.
I have a friend that develops using wordpress, joomla etc etc, and some of the sites he has done look amazing, but as soon as I touch the code, I usually play around with it for an hour or so, and then end up building my own cms. So if someone insists on having a wordpress site, I refer them to him. Rather loose the client than just frustrate myself to kingdom come

Wordpress as you say was born as blog software. I fell out with developing for wordpress when I was shot down for suggesting comments in code were a good thing. Someone even said sthg like "If wordpress had more comments I would leave and use different software because people were wasting time writing comments instead of developing new features". Fail.
I haven't used drupal but I hear good things about it as an extensible content-management system. Maybe have a play with that instead?
