I agree that I did not replicate the theme and plugin system of WordPress. But the beauty is that you probably don't have to. WordPress has to cater to all, which is probably the source of all the issues people face.
But neither is my website a simple brochure site. Members create their own content, upload photos, enter their location on a map, enter available dates, have the ability to chat with other members. When I tried to do al this with custom and available plugins, it never felt as a coherent experience. Then there is a lot of automation in the background, notifying members of unanswered messages, expiring profiles, notifying members of expiring memberships. Getting all this properly done with the CMS provided API's is more work then writing it from scratch yourself. With the benefit of not having to worry about CMS API deprecation.
