1. WP is terribly coded
2. WP CANNOT handle traffic. Even with Super-DOOPA-cache-this-time-we-mean-it-cache v2
3. WP is insecure. You will be hacked

Because you don't have a programming / technical background, you probably / surely don't understand these points, and will therefor keep defending your use of WP.

We understand that.
You're wrong on almost everything. For starters, Cyber knows his stuff and he is a very good programmer.

WP is not only easy, but it has 1000 times more features than ANY CMS out there. As for terribly coded, I don't know, I'm pretty sure those guys at NASA, Yahoo or CNN (just to name a few WP users) have 1 or 2 coders that know their stuff.

WordPress can handle SHITLOADS of traffic, I've built sites handling 200/300k+ uniques a day without even noticing it, which is more than 99.99% of what most adult pay sites handle, so you're way off here.

And as for insecure... well, all scripts are insecure, WP is attacked more because there are millions of users, but I dare you to find an "un-hackable" script. Microsoft gets his programs hacked within hours of being launched, same for Adobe and same for any program that worth a dime. Of course hackers won't worry about scripts used but 20 or 30 people in the world.

A final thought: how can you compare 1, 2 or 10 programmers working in a script to many thousands making a script better working in it every day? Seriously, mere logic tells you you're way off base

@Andre
We've made many WP tours, and as a matter of fact we're working on a super-tour based on WP right now, with features I've never seen in any paysite tour. We've built regular tours, communities, tube sites, libraries, shops, whatever you could imagine... and then more. And frankly, although all CMS have its advantages and disadvantages, when you compare everything you'll realize there's no script that can get closer to WP in terms of features, manageability, ease of use and flexibility, that's why we decided to specialize in it.
