but WordPress is by far the most non-tech friendly CMS I have ever known. I mean bar none, so not sure why you say this. At least 50% of their users are people that barely know how to turn on a computer. And that is a very conservative stat, I wouldn't be surprise if it's 90%.
On a side note, of all the custom WP installs we have made in the last 4-5 years (well above 300, with around 60/70 being CMS) up to date I remember only 3 persons requesting for support and/or mods, and 2 of them because they wanted a drastic change. I don't know how it is for other people, of course, but IMHO there's a reason why many developers hate WP: because once you install it, the client doesn't need the developer anymore
