We have several years of experience with building websites with WordPress for clients. And indeed most of the clients seem to struggle with managing the content. Most of the problems occure with the wysiwyg editor and the media library. Mostly small stuff like disappearing new lines or the other way around. Even for me it's sometimes hard to figure out why the editor behaves unexpectedly. Try to make a decent bulleted list and then edit it. My personal rescue is the html view, but we can't expect that from the customer can we?
But give any unexperienced person a copy of Word and the struggle with the same problems. The difference is there are not that many client without experience with Word. They do that every day. They edit the website a few times a week tops. And when they try WP for the first time they expect it to be a hassle free ride. What I am trying to say is every piece of software you want to use in a good way you need to sit down for and put some effort in it. Sweat and curse just like we all did on Word and then you wil get used to it.
That being said there is always room for improvement in WP. Thanx for the post.
