It makes no sense that Joomla is now extremely buggy when we had a stable 1.5.
The core team used to be all volunteers. Now they are being paid and Joomla
has not gotten much better and in some ways worse. I think it's time for
another fork. There were many good 3rd party admin tools that could have been
incorporated and they weren't.

One reason for WP rise is with people with zero budget.
It is very easy to use, but also very limited in scope and
abilities.
Joomla is beginning to become a frustration.
But if you have complaints, then go and fix them.
