Hello ProcessWire community and Ryan Cramer in particular. I have been using the various open source and proprietary CMS's for over 10 years now. I can quite honestly say that ProcessWire is - for me - one of the most exciting open-source projects I have ever seen. Thank you for your work Ryan! I only stumbled across the ProcessWire framework a couple of days ago via a mention here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3447386 This is a thread that echoed a lot of my personal discontent with WordPress and Drupal in general and as a result I've decided to update my badly out of date portfolio site using PW just to learn the system (I was going to use WordPress). Having only really started using the system 2 days I can honestly say - so far so good. I love the way that (to my mind) some of the better features of Drupal, WordPress and ModX have been all wrapped into a very light and approachable core framework. However, for me - as a designer - the most important facet is the powerful and flexible core that doesn't write XHTML markup for me!!! I really like WordPress and Drupal - they are great systems and I use them for clients regularly. However, Drupal assumes it knows better than me and writes my markup for me; expecting me to build tons of inflexible overrides to tell it to stop and do what I ask! WordPress is amazing - with tons of usability, it gets out of my way enough to give me the illusion that I'm in control, but it's always going to be a focused blogging framework with the more flexible CMS features being second priority strategically. I have high hopes with PW and love the rounded philosophy and structure behind it. I'll let you know how I get on and please accept my apologies for any dumb questions in advance.
