Hey everyone,
I'm about to start a new website project and I'm at a crossroads regarding which Joomla version to use. I'm trying to decide between building with Joomla 4 or jumping straight to Joomla 5.
My main concerns are compatibility and reliability. I want to ensure that whatever version I choose, I'll have a stable foundation and good compatibility with extensions and templates in the long run.
For those of you who have experience with both, or have recently made this decision, I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice. Specifically:
Thanks in advance!

For those of you who have experience with both, or have recently made this decision, I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice. Specifically:
- What are your experiences with the stability and reliability of Joomla 5 in a production environment compared to Joomla 4?
- How is the current state of extension and template compatibility with Joomla 5? Are there any significant hurdles or widely used extensions that aren't fully compatible yet?
- Given my focus on long-term compatibility and reliability, would you recommend starting with Joomla 4 and then upgrading later, or is it better to just begin with Joomla 5 now?
Thanks in advance!
