A dinosaur, was great but is stuck in the past

What differentiates Joomla! from other similar products?
Joomla! was an awesome platform when it was released, and gained popularity due to its templating capabilities. It was one of a kind at a point where devs had to build CMSs and simple applications on their own.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It was robust. I haven't used it in a while, but it never really let me down, and I was able to power a large traffic website using it.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Joomla! stayed in the past. Didn't follow WordPress steps, didn't evolve towards a less categorical approach to content administration, it stayed way too hierarchical. Also, design-wise, the templates and most communication (even the website) is not modern and is not something a modern developer would start off as of 2021.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Try something with a more modern approach, maybe with a static deployment. Unless you really need to continue using it, I think there are better alternatives out there (I would look at a JAMstack approach, maybe with a headless/decoupled CMS).
Pros
- Respectful
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
- Appreciates Incumbent Status
Cons
- Slower Product Innovation
- Inhibits Innovation
- Less Efficient Service
