It's good to know the point of view of another WP developer, so thank you for your feedback!

I've also worked with WordPress and, as I said, it's really a very nice product, but it's not as user friendly as it should be and it probably won't change in any near future, because its user base already is used to work with it as it is.

My experience with WordPress showed me that for both, users and developers, it could be really easier to work with.

I made some experiments with some of my clients who use WP, and the Pareto's principle was king here, I mean, 80% of all the actions made use of 20% of the features.

I agree with you when you say that there are a lot of big players working on a minimalist approach. But I really think that there are a lot of users who really want to own their data. If you make a fast search about people incentivizing another's to get their own blog with their own domain, you'll see that maybe there's some market here.

I've never heard of KickPress, so I'll study it, but I got really impressed with HappyTables!

Thanks again for you comments. They're pretty useful!
