I've only once had to keep a WP site up and running, and although the code has a ton of smell, most of my work there consisted of only a few clicks. I'm surprised at how effective Wordpress is as a platform, even if it's slow, and hope that they make a major version move to cleanup some of the cruft in their codebase soon. Dropping PHP4 constructors is a small step in the right direction, forcing plugin developers to do the same would be another. Kudos Wordpress, and thanks for the overview to the author (I'd never have bothered to read it otherwise)
