You are right. But the latest wordpress releases have improved a lot. WordPress is a great cms without a doubt.

Very interesting! I think W2.5 is much cleaner and I like the style.

Well, the new WordPress 2.7 has been released this week and it is even more user friendly, highly configurable and has got quite a lot of pizzaz. Maybe you could review this one. Nice review of the 2.5 though.

Hi,

I’ve started using wordpress just few months back (may be when wordpress 2.5 got released) and I like this interface of WordPress. It’s very user friendly and interactive.

I was trying to figure out why my interface is different than others I saw. It looks like I have the latest version. But I actually like the other version better!

While typing on the older version, you can hit “save and continue editing” and stay on the same screen so you can just continue typing. Arranging the widgets is much faster and simpler with less navigation required. If you change your mind about what goes in the left sidebar and what goes in the right one, you just switch them around. On the new version you have to remove them all from one sidebar, save, view the other sidebar, and put your widgets back. And maybe re-fill the fields as well!

Anyway, maybe I’m missing something. But I like the other interface better …

I agree with most of what you have said here. Definitely WordPress 2.5 is more user friendly. I feel like saving a lot of time while working on the new version. And light color combination has given it more fresh look.

I love word press 2.5 I’m running 2.53 and it’s great.
I use it on my web 2.0 graphics blog for portfolio designers.

Nice review, I love the interface but can’t help thinking all the colours are too wishy washy. on some screens it is really hard to use it. i struggle even on my macbook which i think has a pretty decent screen.

for the default theme it would have been far better to keep with the old colours or something with a bit more variation.

I use the secondary admin theme which i find far more easy to use.
