What most people seems to forget is that WP is an ENGINE which has a lot of uses. If you don't know how to use that engine, you may end with a Pinto. If you know how to use it, you may end with a F1.
Both WP and BuddyPress have the most simple and user friendly features as default. Nothing complicated, a little over a Pinto, just not much more than that. The features 99.99% of people want and will use.
And I'm talking about BP+WP because it's a time saver, BP is just a plugin using WP engine, I could do exactly the same with WP alone. And I'm comparing it to Facebook, not to some lame FB clone script, otherwise it would be like comparing a nuclear weapon to a green pea, there's not even a relation (and yes, I had to convert from phpFox to WP because phpFox, which happens to be the best after WP, is way too limited)
So, in any case, a proper assertion would be: "I have no idea how to unleash its power. Maybe I should hire someone to do it...."

- If you can find some to hire than that would be an option.
- 1001 mod makers, some stop, some got hacked, a lot not updated
- lay out sucks
- To much work for what you get out of the box
- So money mods that it is hard to find a good one
- You can get a F1 with less trouble in less time.
- It is like that old Mambo Community. Nice if it works, a hell to update it.
I think if you would hire someone, use Drupal.
