Hmmmmm, the Web designer, that's designer not developer, for an ecommerce job I'm working on, just suggested we use WordPress or a html template, rather than create her own. (obvs I denied WordPress as a tool) She's not new to the game either, is she being lazy and cutting corners, or just utilising what's already available with templates?

depending on the project scope WordPress can be perfectly good choice. If it's a e-commerce platform it takes way less time to alter a professional theme than developing your own. Biggest themes on themeforst have tons of bug fixes already implemented which you'll just discover in your own implementation

WordPress is so overused and raped to do things it wasn't meant for. And people be like "Oh yeah let's install 100 Plugins and complain about the beeing slow as fuck". But most non tech people just know WP and don't understand that it's build for little sites or blogs.

whole bunch of big sites are built on WordPress so that argument is invalid

@kargaroth You are, unfortunately, correct. You still won't convince me it's a good enterprise product though! :-p
