    The award is nice, but I think WordPress should be more focused on enhancing security and speeding up/slimming the platform.

    It's so easy to have fun and add cool new features like a color-coded text editor and image editor, but if you're really going to be professional about this, security and speed should be Job Number One. I want WordPress to be ROCK solid and FAST. Unfortunately, this is not the case and there are sites I create where I have to use alternative CMS packages.

    Wow! And so it should be. Our blogs have never run smoother after the latest WP updates. And updating Wp is SOOOOO much better now!

    I think WordPress deserves the prize. I tried other blogging and CMS platforms before but I never found them easy to customize.

    I’m in the process of rolling out a WordPress CMS site. The only downside of using WordPress as a CMS for me is it’s kind of a pain to write a page with a custom javascript, specifically jQuery. I’m used to “freestanding” pages where you just write the code and links directly into the head tag. With WordPress, I have to write the script, enqueue it for the specific page, and if there’s an associated css file that goes with it, I’d have to write another function in the functions.php file to get the css linked at the wp_head call. I’d have to add another script enqueue call if I was using a jQuery plugin in. Using the jQuery UI is particularly cumbersome.

    I’m not sure what, if anything, can be done to streamline this but if you need a CMS application with a lot of javascript, you need to have more than a passing understanding of the WordPress hooks.
