As a TYPO3 guy I can't understand why it is not the world's most used and loved CMS.

Because it is horrific to set up and maintain.

You can find a few different projects that claim to get you started with TYPO3 within minutes - and most of them actually work.
However you have a point there. I'm still wondering what's the right way to set up TYPO3 for local development and deployment and I've found myself doing it slightly different in each of the last websites that I've started. I'd love to see a bit more standardization and good tutorials in that area.

I can't agree on the maintenance part - I think its quite straight forward. Since TYPO3 is composer based you can just run composer update to update TYPO3 and the installed extensions. Upgrade wizards and the new extension scanner help you with major upgrades that are released every 1.5 years.
