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?

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..

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
