As far as content management Joomla is first choice

What do you like best? I like best is the amount of supported add ons, and how seamlessly everything flows when multiple users are on the server at the same time. What do you dislike? Ecommerce add ons weren't so great, I had a hard time implementing them, but I was still able to use their software for other content management needs.

They clash in their dependencies and it might take some time when a bug appears on your website and you have to find its origin. Recommendations to others ...
