      It’s out-of-date and somewhat inaccurate (the last time I looked), but:

          I find them difficult to compare since MODx has such a different approach than the others. A straight comparison of features will most likely weigh against MODx, since, in my opinion, MODx is not abut being modular (like the others) but it is about being flexible (which the others are not). Do you need this to help sell MODx as a solution to a client, or is this to help you understand the differences?

            need to sell it to a client. Most IT people only hear of Drupal Joomula. I have used modx and love it but they look at charts graphs.

              Requirements are different for each client. Do they understand taxonomies? Are the comfortable with hierarchy limits? Do they want restrictions on what can be accomplished from a design perspective without substantial effort? Do you need a native forum? Etc.

              What are the features you think would be important in a chart like this? It may actually be time to put something like this together.

                Its time to put something together. Basic to complex chart that compares all 3. Right now in the IT departments mind they think that Joomla drupal are the kings of CMS. But this isn’t true. Joomula is too slow and horrible written. Drupal the PHP code is to complex. As I say you can write one thousand lines of code to do the same thing as in ten lines of code. In the future it would be great if MODX can team up with cPANEL and offer right out of the box installation.

                But if somebody can put together a quick feature comparison chart of all 3 that would be great and the pros and the cons of modx.

                    No it doesn’t but the others do. The Con’s of the other CMS. That way we can clearly see why MOD X is better then the rest.
