What I don't like much about Txp is that you've got to learn yet another templating language -tags- whereas with, say, Wordpress you can use plain PHP in your templates. From a developer perspective, last Txp version I checked was a pretty awful spaghetti code and I feared it could get difficult to extend (Wordpress isn't much better in this point, either).

For me the xml template method used doesn't strike me as too alien. I will be honest, as yet I haven't actually looked at the code but now you mentioned it I will take a peek. If you aren't too keen on Textpattern or Wordpress what's your recommendation? @Ismael:Fair comments. For me the xml template method used doesn’t strike me as too alien.
