Funny you should ask, I was just looking at it today. I bought some web hosting and it's one of the 'one click installs' they offer. I'd be curious to hear peoples' take on it too.

I don't like it. Way too fussy and the whole page organization frustrates me. Also does not handle multilingual sites well enough.

I would not choose to use it to build a site again.

To be fair though -- I like to get into the code and I don't like being guided and locked out. That's why Joomla isn't good for me. If you don't have much experience with content management systems it might work for you.

I've been in Joomla World all night and day. Urgh.

I've got a site up, and it looks cool... but I've hit a few snags.
