I do realize this went from a simple question into a rant and don't mean to offen anyone. I just would like to make a point.

Besides the completely customizable feature wordpress.org has, the real question is, if you hand code it, how to do learn the code? do you take a few months to learn from w3schools or another source of teaching, or do you go to a website, find a feature you like, inspect the element, and just "STEAL" the code? most company's frown on stealing code, but like Facebook, everyone has before and will continue to do so, their for they really are not learning how to code but learning how to tweak code.

so how exactly is a CMS better than Hand Code and how is Hand code better than CMS? the answer Hand code is better with a good CMS System, if you have multiple people working on it plus need something done fast or will be updated constantly, CMS Handcoded is perfect, but never rely on strict CMS or Strict Handcode, because you will always find flaws but with the 2 combine even though you are still hand coding a CMS its the best way to go.
