I only recently tinkered with wordpress/buddypress plugins for a hobby site. I can see why it became so popular. It's dead easy to start tinkering because it forces you to learn very little. Just find the place where you want to hook your code, and dump tons of godawful code in there. That means that people use 1000 different styles in their plugins, but its the big price to pay. In comparison, try tinkering with oxwall without digging deep into their object-oriented code.
