I agree. With 3.0, anything is truly possible. I still think as a CMS, WordPress isn’t perfect. Drupal absolutely blows it away with it’s ability to build full-blown web applications without touching a single line of code, but WordPress has a huge advantage from the user experience perspective. Drupal 6 and previous versions are pretty terrible in that regard.

it’s pretty exciting that it’s now possible to create an ecommerce website with default WordPress functionality.
Matt Mullenweg did mention that the wp ecommerce plugin would only use WP tables instead of external table as in previous versions.

Evan, you are correct, Custom Taxonomies have actually been around since 2.3 with an improved system in 2.8 but 3.0 brings a new API for developers to work with them more easily. I have updated the post to be more exact with my language regarding taxonomies in 3.0.

I’m stoked about the new release! But haven’t custom taxonomies been around for a while? 2.8 I’m thinking, and the capabilities/API since 2.4 or so? Don’t get me wrong I like them, but I’ve been using them for a while now…
Very excited about the menu and custom types though! FTW
