Why use 10 database tables and 30 files to accomplish functionality that can be very elegantly (and efficiently) accomplished with 2 or 3 DB tables and 1 file? Trying to find the right included file in the Joomla file structure can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. The same goes for the database. With WordPress, files and database tables are named what you might expect them to be (i.e. wp_posts DB table holds all the posts and pages). This makes development far more efficient. Granted both have their learning curves, but I feel once you take the time to learn about the systems and interact with the communities you will find yourself using WordPress over Joomla for most projects. The few times we have used Joomla our clients have also found the admin rather cumbersome and overly complicated to use. Just my $.02. Joomla is overly complicated IMO.

I am about to go down the path of learning Joomla to create multiple sites for different clients. I haven't used WordPress. Do you also have experience with Joomla? What are your thoughts comparing the two for use as CMS? Nice designs. I am about to go down the path of learning Joomla to create multiple sites for different clients. I haven’t used WordPress.
