TXP-Does it suck?

TXP - does it suck ? Sooner or later I fall out with every CMS I have ever tried. It is a function of the genre. The genre is to make life easier for the typical end user. The typical end user does not include me. And if I need to publish a bit of code I do not expect the whole thing to forking blow up and refuse to publish it. The CMS developers need to get something straight in their minds: Good software is invisible. You should not need to stop what you do to benefit. Nor should you need to join a cult.
