Does ASP.NET's BlogEngine.Net Stack Up to Wordpress? [closed]

Compared to WordPress, BlogEngine.NET is relatively immature and has a much smaller community. That's not to say BlogEngine isn't good on its own merits, but it's definitely more niche where WordPress is mainstream.

As far as .NET CMS solutions, and not just blogging platforms, N2 and Graffiti are both very well-regarded and seem to be widely adopted. They are also both geared towards more flexible CMS than simply blogs, although have blog-like functionality baked in. Of course, N2 is open source and Graffiti is a paid product (albeit quite inexpensive), but both do quite well.

I have no experience with BlogEngine.Net, but to answer your question about any other alternatives, we're using Sitefinity which is a .Net based CMS, and is highly customizable.In our experience, it has some performance issues for very large sites, but we're still by and large happy with it.

Wordpress is very slick. It's mature, has ton's of templates and plugins and the administrative tool is fantastic. Installation is simple -- even on IIS7/PHP.

I am primarily a .Net programmer, though I can work with PHP as well (I just don't care for it.) So, I'd like to say that BlogEngine.Net could "stack up", but I think from an operational perspective, Wordpress is still the leader.
