@DavidDarnes @viviana It would be interesting to learn what your pain points were/are with Joomla. I mean, we can't improve us without feedback. I'm also open for private feedback, if you don't want to put it here. You can reach me also via hannes.papenberg@community.joomla.org
@DavidDarnes @hackwar @viviana You should give it a new test-run Dave. It has come a long way since 'a couple of years' ago. If the current state is enough to make a come-back? I don't know. In the end people will probably turn a blind eye and stick with what they currently have and know: something with the grass always being greener on the other side :)
@DavidDarnes @viviana I honestly would still love to hear your feedback. Preferably even what you can remember right now and what you think about it after you tried it again. My chance to have a first impression is long gone, so getting the experience of someone from the outside would be so valuable. I think Joomla is awesome in its functionality, but I also feel that we are missing something in the UI which I can't put my finger on. So feedback would be awesome.
@hackwar I'm glad you said UI, it's a bigger factor that people think. Whenever I want to check out a CMS I'm looking for a screenshot of the UI, and often there isn't one and I have to use Google Images. It's the thing my clients will interact with the most, I need it to be an enjoyable experience. Joomla's isn't bad, it just feels dated. Slight admin panel energy 😅
@DavidDarnes I would be really interested what version your experience is based on. The backend has been changed a lot in the past 3 years and if your last install was even older than Joomla 3, you are in for a surprise. 😉
