Out of curiosity, has anyone tried using Wx5 for newspapers / magazines? I realize it is not wordpress, but then again it is simpler to administer and has less issues with updates and the fragmented plugin vendor space.

Hello Craig,
I am not sure what you exactly want to do with these, selling seems possible to me although it would take some administration next to x5 as well, but for publishing x5 might not be the best option.
Anyway, maybe you wil get some responce from users that actualy have tested or used it.
@ Craig
Do not use WSX5 (as it is now) for making news portals!
It has so many bad points that I don't know where to start...
Hi Craig,
thank you for getting in touch.
If you want to use WebSite X5 for a news website, please remember you will need to add the news by working locally on PC and then exporting the modified project online.
I'm available for any further clarification. Kind regards.

That is useful. Yes I think it might work for something small, that does not require frequent updates.
