Re: "The basic problem WordPress has it that new users expect it to behave like Microsoft Word."

Hi Tim, I agree, but I think the bigger problem is that so many WordPress "experts" recommend WordPress to just about everyone, including even WordPress novices.

I also think that a "distraction-free environment" is more relevant to blogging than websites. This of course is another major problem with WordPress, it's still a blogging platform that can also be used for websites, but only if you have the time, patience, knowledge, and resources to do so.
