I know! I think it is a great piece of software for free
BUT my hypothetical point is, if it was not free (but less than $200) AND if it had no security bugs, etc. - I would be more inclined to use it.
Of course if PHP-Nuke had no security bugs, etc. (see list above) AND it was free I would use it straightaway.
At the moment PHP-Nuke DOES have security bugs, etc. AND it is free - I might give it a try.

This is all based on exterior judgement, I have not yet used PHP-Nuke.
