I feel the same way. I grew up with Joomla, and I used to do all my ecommerce projects on that platform. I still remember trying to build my first store on VirtueMart. To be fair, VirtueMart was once a solution with very little competition and was truly great. But then WooCommerce came along and changed the game. You’re absolutely right about the community. When I recently looked for a solution for an old site built on Joomla, it was really difficult to find anything. The community isn’t that large, and the documentation feels clunky. With WordPress, I usually find a solution within minutes, or there’s always someone more experienced who can help. Simply put, building websites is much easier for me with WordPress, thanks to the huge user base and the wealth of experience those people have.

Each system had something going for it and also something that bothered me. My first blogs were built on Joomla and WordPress. That was 15 years ago, and back then, Joomla seemed incredibly robust and sophisticated compared to WordPress. But eventually, Joomla fell behind, and WordPress took over. The same goes for Drupal—years ago, it was fantastic for me. The longer I’ve used WordPress, the more I’ve grown to love it. Ten years ago, though, it was unthinkable to have an e-shop on WordPress; Joomla was the best for that. Now, WooCommerce is dominating all possible solutions. I enjoyed reading this article and learning your perspective on the pros and cons of the content management systems in this list. It gives a fresh view and perspective on today’s available solutions.
