In reply to Jeffrey.

I read your review and do half agree, half disagree.

I disagree on the part that it's difficult to set up and get going, as there are "skeletons" and themes that offer the functionality someone needs.
Also I find Markdown to be extremely intuitive and easy to understand (+ they have an editor, like wordpress has it, for the lazy folk).

I agree though on that they need to work more on making it easy to install additional features - like your slider, other plugins, or stuff like jquery scripts.

I would say we should give them some time, as they just got out of Beta recently and you know, Wordpress had a looot more time to grow. :)
