   Currently WordPress is the most balanced platform available for CMS/Blog/Website. I have tried many others and none of them didn’t measure to the WordPress. But, there are still many things to improve in the WordPress core: current post/page/taxonomy management is not very good right now, and not practical for larger websites and very limited in manipulating the data, we need better and much more practical interface for that.

   I also don’t like the idea of WP core team meddling in plugin development with their ‘canonical’ plugins, core team focus needs to be on WordPress core.

   Yes, I agree, WP is a fantastic platform, simplicity and extensibility are its point of power, but I can see some drawbacks:

   -localization should be integrated (currently I use qTranslate plugin);
   -it should support more different databases (for small sites mySql is a huge choice), I tested pdo for WP but it’s not an ideal plugin;
   -in the end media library is a little weak, it should be tightly coupled with wile on upload dir

   let me know your thoughts about this…

     You can for sure, change the language of your WordPress install.

       Yes, but what about posting the same article in different languages?

   I very much support taking WP beyond blogging into ever wider content management areas. Whilst effort is put into UI consistency tweaks and linking greater variety of media more ways, in more formats and more languages ….

   …. an important area being overlooked IMHO is new application / UI to allow more sophisticated query & view building for the non-programmer – both on the blog’s own WP data base and on any RDF resource available.
   (Flexible content-driven taxonomy management of posts, pages and page-elements is one of many possible applications.)
