WordPress impresses me again

After loosing a deal because the other candidate had WordPress with the needed stuff almost done while for TYPO3 some stuff needed to be developed, I was kinda in shock.

How could it be? TYPO3 loosing from WordPress which I stopped using fervently after discovering the power of TYPO3… I felt abandoned, a little betrayed actually…

And now it happens to me again. Why? Yesterday I saw a movie on youtube about a guy installing a WordPress site, with a unique theme and… a shop in less than 5 minutes. He even had a product in and added a payment solution in that time… And now… Now I just upgraded to the newest version of WordPress fully automatically…

I think I need to start looking if Users/Permissions/Roles and localization have been improved as dramatically as this…

Should I consider trading TYPO3 for WP?

I have come to love the TYPO3 way of things, the power, the community, the friends in freelance collegeaus that I met… So should I? Or should I not?

Dont :)
Wordpress is an awesome tool for blogging… but thats it.
There are several extensions which are pretty nice to like buddypress for making it a community.
But thats it i guess.

Wordpress is nice, TYPO3 is more awesome. Look at the backend, look at the power. meh… easy choice :)

Ola Jos,

thanks again for your comment. I agree with you: WP is great at blogging, but TYPO3 still has way greater power and is more secure.

I am currently working on a blogging extension for TYPO3 based on ExtBase and my goal is to have it all of the basic features of wordpress.

5 minutes installation time will be a nogo I guess, but the power will be more awesome..

H.
