    Hi DP-ers!

    I always hear people saying how much Wordpress sucks and what a resource hog it is. I personally like it because of the super-easy install, all the plugins made for it, and the huge number of people who use it (more support). So what are some pros and cons of Wordpress? Should I continuing installing Wordpress on all my new blogs? Will Wordpress eventually become a problem if I start getting too many users (even with WP-cache)?

    Thanks.

    Hmmm, I never heard WP sucks

    I don't see how it is a resource hog unless you pushing 1000's of post daily

    Haha, I hear it all the time on computer forums, digg, etc. But I assume you guys would know more of what you are talking about. Thanks, I will continue to use WP forever now!

    This is the first time I heard that Wordpress sucks because it is a resource hog etc. Though I had heard more and more complaints about the extremely frequent releases of Wordpress patches/versions which seemed to be as fast as that of phpbb2.

    The more popular it becomes, the more complaints people will start coming up with.

    It is something that no product can escape.

    Same, this is the only complaint I have ever heard about WordPress.

    WordPress just makes everything so simple, I can't see how it can have any complaints.

    I can asure you that wordpress does not suck and is not a Resource hog.

    As i own and run www.blogshoster.com and currently have over 1000+ blogs spread across our servers and our servers run fine.Infact most of the Resource hogs are none wordpress websites and they are removed so our servers run how there ment to.

    WP does not suck at all, in fact it is a great piece of software. What issue are you referring about?

    Wordpress sucks? please dont say that :) im in the middle of creating my first ever theme for it.

    So far ive always read happy comments on it, and various good things like its constantly updated (although some dont like that) and there seems to be a ton of plugins for it.

    Thats an obscene combination, wordpress and sucks? No damn way! Wordpress is the most awesome and easiest platform ever to blog away. The title should have been..

    Wordpress - It Sucks!! (all the competing platforms users to itself that is. )
    Wordpress is the best, period!

    Wordpress is great and I just love it and it's true that Joomla is a resource hog (more than Wordpress)

    ;)

    My recommendation for anyone who has multiple wordpress sites is to have them running on one installation of Multi User Wordpress.
