Yes. I never said that all of it would be irrelevant, btw. But I do think that he is concentrating too much on the needs of a first-time user.
butchers vocabularies and terms. It suggests calling both "categories," which would add a whole new level of ambiguity. It makes me want to rename "Categories" to something like "Classification" just to avoid the whole issue of expecting an interface to add categories.
I never agreed to the renaming of Taxonomy to Categories in the first place. :p I think it was done in the light of a proposal, "Drupal is too complicated, let's dumb it down".
Maybe it would be valuable for Drupal to configure a vocabulary called "Tags" out of the box with free tagging that's enabled for all content types. But it should be clear that tagging is a *subset* of what the taxonomy system can do.
I think this suggestion would be good for a blogging installation profile.
Including some basic sample content is a nice idea. It could be an option during the installation process. I certainly don't want sample content to be mandatory for new installations.
But to be honest, a lot of the suggested changes would be harmful for how I (and my company) use Drupal, which is as a development platform more than a quick-and-easy CMS. I think we'd have to find some way to satisfy the review's concerns without confining more sophisticated use.
'Cause if someone just wants a blog, we tell them to use WordPress. No one benefits from making Drupal into "Super WordPress."
Well, people actually _can_ (and should!) do that by working on an installation profile. Sadly, there are only very few installation profiles, which indicates that they are somehow incomplete. I wonder what is missing.
