No joke I agree. I tried to make my site with all custom code using the MVC style, tried zend frame work, yii, etc. And in the end I finaly got on track when I really noticed the power behind wordpress! 80% of anything you want is allready done as a plugin. And what’s not done for you is as simple as hooks and actions in a custom plugin! I wish I could go back in time and redo a lot of my past projects.
I agree, although WordPress is not really the best of its kind, I mean it is for blogging, but any good coder with certain standards will see that the code is not what you would call “clean”, it can do a lot better in the coding department.
Anyway, its nice to meet and talk to you man, I may make this my #1 forum and stick around to help other people. I have not purchused s2member yet but will even if its just to support the dev.
Yes, I actually did this, and it feels good to help other people. :) You will probably see more from me than other members, but not more than the support reps. :)
Pleasure talking to you too. :)
