Hi! I'm a new user of elgg. I'm just getting into it, but so far I am absolutely in love. Let me go through this in sensible order:
The confusing site, lack of substantial integration of major third party CMS/social solutions, and limited choices in templates are barriers for adoption among new users. That noted, I love elgg. The ease of installation, almost complete lack of problems, and delightful functionality are absolutely top notch. Find ways to improve the site navigation/forums and expand the variety of themes and you're talking serious blockbuster potential within the social networking/CMS world. The product itself is impeccable and I am going to strongly recommend it to anyone who needs this sort of software solution.

P.S. On the matter of the iframe and third party integration, I posted elsewhere about third party integration and my ugly iframe hack.
P.S.S. Upon editing my post, it added a ridiculous number of strong and em tags through it. Fixed through direct HTML edit, but a bug you may way to check out.
