uh? I had an easier time w/ Wordpress b/c well I have a 1-click
install through my provider. Putting that aside for a moment, your
definition of "web app" is probably different from mine. But I have
been on a host of SaaS product designs b4 and well SaaS is my model of
Web App (which I know this isn't!!!!), but to arbitrarily decide to
not to compare is 1 well silly, and 2 well, inaccurrate, b/c most Web
Apps of the type you are comparing to (Wordpress, MT, Drupal, etc.)
are application platforms and not just mere applications which for
the same functionality can EASILY be done as SaaS. 

But yes, there were moments where I was left hanging, not exactly, or
clearly understanding what i was supposed to do next. Your description
of the install process is actually disingenuous in that you are
missing a lot of steps in the mental model and only looking at the
physical clicks. Knowing what to click, what will happen and when it
will happen are NOT easily understood or anticipated.

so you can dismiss my well 15 years of SaaS design, OR you might want
to take it for what its worth. A very use centric (non-developer)
response to this very deverloper targetted application process.
Again, the OOB experience is NOT something that I would laud. 

So yes, I expect better than WP or MT or Drupal if I'm getting
significantly less functionality.
