FWIW, I tried hacking up Postnuke when I had been using PHP for about
three months, and found its coding (at least for the sections I was
trying to modify) to be kludgy in the extreme. I've looked less at
phpBB, but the minor feature I needed to add was easy to sneak in, and
the coding style didn't cause my head to ache.
I'm not trying to start any religious-type wars, just thought it was
possibly a useful data point.
