I’ve just been using ModX for a few weeks, but it is so much better than all the other CMS options out there. And know that I’ve installed a dozen of them!
While Joomla and Drupal seem both very mature and extensible, I found their admin section unlogical and smelling of implementation model thinking. And creating something as simple as a custom template was unfun.
Then I came accross ModX, and the clear presentation on the front page really got me into it; It actually made me enthusiastic, like
lets go!
And when it came to setting up, it was a breeze, and the admin section a breath of relief. Because of the way its structured, you don’t get to parts you haven’t learned yet. Changing the template was easy after reading the ModX docs. And learning deeper functionality of ModX feels like a gradual path, instead of climbing a cliff. The atmosphere on these forums are great. I have some PHP/DB experience, not a lot, but I think, from reading the forums, that at some point I might actually create something.
ModX is like a swissarmy knife. That is what it is selling it to me.
Joomla and Drupal (and others) constantly nagged me in the sense of "Why do I need to do it like this? Get out of my way."
I know this sounds like a commercial
, but this has been my experience sofar.
