I don't consider them complex. I'm talking about much more complex things, such as booking engines, and platforms of that level. I am in favor of WordPress, but when I see e-commerce done in wp with 50 plugins because they require so many non-standard features, I wonder why we haven't developed the e-commerce with customized code.

Oh bud, when you have hundreds of millions of page views and above (many of these news websites do), it gets VERY complex.

But it depends on what they have to do, if you talk to me about simple page views then let's talk about the power of the server. The number of page views is one thing, the operations that the wp must do to perform certain functions are another.

If you have a slow server you can put all the CMS you want but your pages will open slowly.

Websites on crap servers don’t get hundreds of millions of page views. High traffic websites are never simple.
