On the other side of the fence the Wordpress authors are having a lot of

junk.
I've used Wordpress. Its codebase isn't the only thing bad about it ;)

Sounds pretty much exactly what I'd expect from just about any PHP-based
application. :/
JS can definitely help improve the UX of form validation, no doubt
about that, but it's important to remember that server-side validation
is still necessary anyway, regardless of what you do on the client.
Yup. So a must have is a good infrastructure for specifying database
invariants and transactions. Ideally it should execute like a stored
procedure thus leaving the server logic pretty clean.
I have to admit I've been in the habit of avoiding anything beyond basic
SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE and CREATE TABLE. Not that I haven't used
them, but I really should have more familiarity with the other stuff
than I do. Ugh, but SQL can be such a pain, especially with all the
vendor differences, and when compared to accomplishing something in
whatever language I'm invoking SQL from.
