Where do you see the problems?
If you use deprecated ways to build sites, you will suffer from 
backwards compatibility reasons.

Could you clarify things?
I personally know my way through TYPO3 while being asleep but this is 
only (I guess) because I am doing nothing else in my worktime.
So where do you as a quite new user see potential to change things?
Please keep in mind that there are more than 120.000 installations with 
a high count of editors who are used to the system now.

I can olny make assumptionns now, but I guess you are using the static 
templates content(default) with or without cSet templates.
You do know that you do not need those?
