I work at a firm that employs WordPress to build simple B2B and B2C websites. We share many of the same opinions as this author, and even more shortcomings come to mind:
1) Unable to change content types
2) Funneled into the "Blog" post type, which is simply called "Posts", with no easy way to kill this off and create your own
3) User group management
The list could go on forever.
However, if the shoe doesn't fit, why force it? Did the author ever consider using (or building) a CMS that fit the needs of the project?
Also, it's an open source piece of software. Why not contribute some time yourself and fix the problem related to moderate_comments (http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4802 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4802)?
Other than that, this post is a bit infuriating as it lacks background as well as a solution. Thanks for letting us know you'll no longer choose WordPress as your (seemingly only) choice of CMS. And thanks for not providing one ounce of helpful insight for how to improve the problem or what the alternatives are.

- odddogmedia 15y agoTry creating a custom post type and adding a handful of posts to it. Now try moving those posts to a different post type. Not so easy, now is it?
