Joomla is good but could be better.
there is a big divide when it comes to addons. there are different versions out and different efforts for each. I find there is not enough selection in extensions with the latest so I will try Drupal as it is more like lego, you stick it all together with a lot of selection in addons.

Best CMS next to Modx
Free cms's are always lacking in documentation. I struggled with modx but even though i did I still liked what it could do. Joomla is by far and away the best free solution to building websites. I don't find Joomla very hard to use at all and the flow makes sense. I wish it was a bit more clearly documented for really customizing your site. It's either this or Modx if you have the patients to deal with modx. Ever since 1.6 came out I've been happy as a pig in mud. I'm sure it's only going to get better. Although they sure took their time updating the clunky old code it used to run on.

Sticking with 1.5
I have 32 clients utilizing Joomla and everyone is 1.5.23. It supports the Gantry framework and is stable. On my development servers I have 1.6.x and 1.7 and have had many issues upgrading some files and plug-ins but more importantly the data. A clean install would be best, so if you are upgrading test it thoroughly on your development server first.

Revisions outrun docs
I was faced with V1.7 as a complete newbie. The Joomla web site has great V1.5 docs with V1.6 docs coming soon! The people in charge have got to realize that the code cannot outrun the docs that badly!! Bug fixes are OK, but changing the form, fit or function without docs is a good way to kill a project!

Why?
Why would you try to re-invent the wheel. For people who are used to coding and those used to programs like Dreamweaver, you will find this freeware confusing and very "Clunky". It's fine to have different views on creation, just don't mess with "Tried and True".
