"What I’m trying to say is that Sharepoint 2007, is beyond repair when it comes to interface customization, and you should do everything in your power to avoid working with it."

Could not agree with the article more. SharePoint 2007 is great and you can sell SharePoint to a lot of non-developer type people with all the "out of the box" stuff you can do and how easily you can do it. Like the author mentions it is a major pain to customize and the examples he gives with CSS & Master pages are spot on. I would add to that: web part development, BI integration has still a way to go and some stupid things that don't need to be as hard as they are.

Cool you could find some useful information in there Jemm, thanks. I can only agree with your other suggestions, things are far too hard.

I have been following closely many people at many companies struggling with MOSS customization projects. Sure it offers some services out of the box, but then it is painful to do some very simple things that are a breeze with plain ASP.NET.

It is a good product for internal project sites and collaboration but too immature (and expensive) for CMS use.
