1- Technical bias

2- General Purpose vs. Specific Purpose

3- Orientation to standards

Possible reasons:

If I had to start from scratch...

...what about the big picture?And so on, and so on...

Well, this is embarrassing...

Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, WIX, symfony, laravel, Yii...

so, How can I decide?

IMHO, There are three fundamental

questions that you must solve by researching

(little by little)

1- How much effort will it take to learn this technology?

2- What use can I give to this learning?

3- What is the future of this platform?ok, there we go! ->

Vanity Metrics vs. Observations- more of 30K modules/plugins/extensions/whatever!

- more of 100K registered users!

- more of 2 millions downloads!

- 89% of the web uses this technology!

- important websites using this platform!

- include advanced features!

- the next big thing!

Without repeating features?

Active users? Yes?

I downloaded the same many times…

Can many people be wrong?

Of course, Indeed, well, yes, always

Yes? It is true?
