I really like the ideas behind Backdrop, largely because it embodies what I had hoped would happen with Drupal 8. Instead it feels like D8 went the exact opposite direction. I come from a design background and feel very comfortable building sites, and theming. I am also fairly comfortable hacking through things, but have come to grips with the fact that coding just isn't my thing anymore. I got started with Drupal 6 in beta and the move to D7 was rough, and D8 scares the heck out of me. Mostly because I fear I will be reduced to just site building. I also fear that the sites I have built in Drupal 7 will not have upgrade paths. My clients are small businesses, hiring someone to migrate them and start over isn't in most of their budgets. I fear some will have to go to Wordpress, which I despise, because I love what Drupal can do. I really like what I am reading about Backdrop, but knowing how slowly the modules tend to trickle in on new core versions, I am a bit fearful for its ability to reach mass.
Formatting options
Basic
To post pieces of code, surround them with <code>...</code> tags. For PHP code, you can use <?php ... ?>, which will also color it based on syntax.
Web page addresses and email addresses turn into links automatically, unless the parent tag has the 'nolink' class.
Lines and paragraphs break automatically.
Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <div> <p> <br> <pre> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <figure> <img> <figcaption> <hr>
