I launched my first WP CMS site last week, up until now I have hard coded all my sites. So far I am happy with the results. My main poker portal has a vBulletin 3.8 forum and I have purchased the new vB suite and am playing with the cms beta version. If it works as I want it to I will be moving my current coded site over to the publishing suite when the final release is available.
Over the years I have learned many shortcuts to ease the tasks of my coded sites (most of the tips from here, thank you). With all the demands on my time I have found the cms sites are easier to maintain.
