From an sysadmin POV, Wordpress is awful.

Please don't give the Wordpress project new ideas for ooh-shiny. Please. Just don't do that. Because they already do that incessantly instead of fixing bugs and cleaning up the festering rats nest of code it all staggers forward on.

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree that WordPress is very powerful from a sysadmin point of view. I also mention in my article that I'm not necessarily suggesting that things need to be fixed on the back end. However, from a Client front end editing perspective some things need to be made a lot simpler and easier.

Also, there need's to be a way for us as developers to create more complex layouts like 3-Column responsive designs, parallax scrolling sites etc.

I'll be sharing more of my ideas for WordPress and what we as designers/developers can do to help WordPress be a better solution for our Clients over the next several weeks.

I'm interested to hear what some of the code bugs are that need to be worked out.
