Both honestly. Very spaghetti, but noone can deny that it just works from a user perspective. Would I want to maintain the code? Hell no! Do use it as an end user? Hell yeah!
Nah, not touching that with a 10' pole. There have been far too many exploits for me to feel comfortable putting any of my important data on it. And it's not just that it's popular, the level of sophistication for these attacks are... alarmingly low.
It's a public site that'll be backed up regularly, what kind of important data would you be putting out publicly?
If it's an e-commerce site, than people's payment info, name, and address. If it has a login, then their login information (which they're most likely reusing elsewhere). Even if it's just a static site, than any data that might be hosted on the same server.
