In reply to Andrew NImmo.

As a WP user, not a developer, I feel the opposite. WP seems very much for developers. So much of what I liked, as a user, has been taken out of WP core or abandoned/ neglected. The media files being a big part of that. As I see it, WP is designed to make it easy for developers to create, set up and maintain cookie cutter sites for clients running commercial sites focused on marketing.
