TYPO3 - Steep learning curve.
- I've been playing around with TYPO3 for the last month or so. It's well known that the learning curve is very steep, and I agree. However, after getting over the learning curve hump, a lot of functionality starts to unfold. English documentation and tutorials are available, but you have to look high and low to find them. After you find them, then you have to decide which order they go. I can honestly say that I almost gave up before I got started simply for the fact that I had such a difficult time finding the necessary documentation. However, persistence, in this case, prevailed. I'm still learning, so I can't say with a whole lot of confidence that I'm ready for a production environment, but I'm really trying my best to turn this into a productivity tool for our content owners.

Installation is easy, hosts aren't.
- The most common problem I encounter is when a client has already paid for hosting, usually for an "easy site builder", which does not allow the installation of the databases required for a CMS. You then have to ask them to upgrade their hosting package, which some balk at doing. In one case the client stalled the project for two months over having to pay an additional £4 per month to her host. The hosts themselves are no easier. I find it incredibly frustrating when I am having to deal with a hosting company which is visibly resentful of the fact that their precious product is no longer being used and that some know-it-all like me is demanding a database.
