Waiting Until PivotX Gets Out Of Beta

Recently, I fell in love with PivotX - the new beta version of the Pivot blogging platform (CMS). However, as soon as I tried to really experiment with the platform, its beta nature truly surfaced. After tweaking the configuration, much of the administrator interface was instantly nuked due to a bug of some sorts. It wasn't a PHP error, but rather the ingenious system of only-necessary Javascript inclusion malfunctioned, causing none of the Javascript to be inserted onto the page. This was a fatal injury for the PivotX interface, since it is built almost entirely off jQuery's amazing utilities. This sort of unusable administrator interface occurred multiple times. After some futile attempts to figure out what was the cause of the issue in the first place, since I had changed multiple configuration options at once, I was frustrated with the system. I am glad to say, however, that I have not lost hope for the amazing system. In fact, I had some great experiences with the beta before it went sour. Its caching and data handling is amazing, and the interface is much to my liking - and a lot more fluid than the Wordpress interface. Although I have switched back to Wordpress for now, I am awaiting the time I can run the converter script for good.
