# # # 87% – says something is broken # # #
Hmm – I think many user click “broken”, although in many cases only a (small) part does not work. photocrati-bashing is probably “in” at the moment. But for one of the biggest wordpress plugins of all time, unfortunately, the negative reactions and emotions are always around several times stronger than the positive reports.
The big problem is, in my opinion, that nextgen 2 engages too hard in the wordpress system. In my eyes, this is not absolutely necessary in this form. Nextgen also should adhere to the standard methods – for example the proper and standard way enqueue of css and js or leave jquery-loading/register untouched. Nobody wants that nextgen totally messes up the source code.
Cache plugins, combine js plugins, combine css plugins, google jquery Version 1.10.2 etc. should always work with or without nextgen. Currently, the nextgen loading of js and css is so funny or buggy that many of these plugins (for example autoptimize) do not work properly.
