I think the ease of front end
design in J2.5 and J3+ is superior, so for me the designer, I feel like I can design anything,
anything, I want in Joomla, which has not been my experience in WP. The environment created by ZGF and now T2 leverages this flexibility in a huge way. But once designed, I have a site I can't give to the clients because they are never going to touch the Joomla back end, which means I wind up doing it (for free) or training a low level 'SEO consultant' (for free). One plus - the free PowerAdmin plugin has been a nice add on to Isis, and has a small footprint. I think all of us would pay for a user-riendly administrative interface....heck, people are imploring rockettheme, offering them money, to get off their back ends and update the mission control back end, but so far they demur.
