I have seen a lot of discouraging posts about migrating from version 1.5 to 1.6 and was wanting to here from you about your experience building a site from the ground up using 1.6.
Thanks rose for the topic. I'm as well watching the developments though I'm not in any hurry to migrate my sites from 1.5. All the same, I wouldn't dare say that I'm any willing to rebuild an existing site from ground up... maybe you hold on until most migration issues are dealt with.. esp seeing that there's no compatibility mode for plugins and modules.
This is the main topic for the upgrade; if the plugins or modules you have installed are ready for 1.6. Nothing was guaranteed from the old 1.0 to 1.5 upgrade.
