Joomla 1.0.14 or 1.5.1

[am3n]

Guys,
new version of Joomla is now available.
1.0.14 seems suitable, and most the extension and template out there is still based on Joomla 1.0
but version 1.5.1 now providing more feature, security and better way to maintaince but right know there a few extension and template that support it.
What do you think guys.. ??
which one will you choose.. ??

sorry, it was a fool question. If I have new site to develop than I'll be running in using joomla 1.5.x since it's the new version off joomla and they will support the most. and sooner or later the developers will also convert the extension compatible with Joomla 1.5.x

ps: I dont either how long Joomla 1.x will be supported by them.

Well I already chose 1.5, it is even easier to use, and got some powerful features and the interface is just awesome...
And talking about compatible mods, I think you can use the legacy mode for that, I know I know it's not like having a mod designed for 1.5, but still it works great for me so far, also used a lot of 1.0 templates on 1.5 and it works fine.
the only thing that displeases me with joomla (in general) is that it has a lot of none free mods, and the integration between the mods is far from being a reality comparing to Drupal. But this is another subject I guess.

ah.... compatible mode on Joomla 1.5.x enable mods that were designed for J1.0.x

right then, I'll try drupal if I have free time... but drupal seems so complicated.....

I'm doing Joomla 1.5... The legacy mode or whatever essentially makes is Joomla 1.0.x, so if there is some reason I'd want the older version, I can just do that, while still having the new stuff.
