I am starting to do html 5 sites, and having to re-learn so many things, since I have been using joomla for several years. This is of course the future, as I see joomla eating itself alive.

The main reason I have looked at html5 sites is because they can be so refreshing after seeing every joomla site with a rotating slider, three or four categories featured below that,,,,etc etc on down the page. 

Another thing is this upgrade to 1.6/1.7/1/8 that's going on. I am getting very tired of the issues, extension conflicts etc...And the cost of extensions is skyrocketing (especially if euro based) and the time consumed with constant upgrades, maintenance is eating my life away. 

Anyway, joomla is looking at some serious issues that I think are insurmountable. Especially the upgrades...

 

Who knows of something like K2 that is usable in a simple html/php site? 

What about K2 for html 5...that's the future here...joomla is dead.
