    I’ve been playing around with ModX for a few weeks now and I’m really excited about what I think I see. I know DavidM from his recommendation on the Textpattern forums and I have to say I sort of followed him over. His high praises intrigued me from the start. From what I’ve seen ModX most reminds me of Dreamweaver. Or Textpattern on steroids. Anyone else have that "feel"?

      Welcome Neutrino,

      Thanks for coming and checking it out, it’s a great product which gets better all the time. I’ve never used Textpattern, but based on the dozen or so CMS’s I trailled, MODx is certainally something special.

      hope to see youaround some more.

        Ehmm.. It’s much simpler and more powerful compare to dreamweaver, from my coding perspective. Lets sett what’s a designer will say about it.

        Btw, welcome to the community, hope you will start the infection to other people that you know, lol. grin

          Hi neutrino, seen you over at the Textpattern forums when I was having a read through some of the MODx discussions over there.

          MODx is one amazing package, welcome aboard! smiley

          Hope to see you around here,

            Hi neutrino !

            Nice seing you here grin

            If you want some comparative analysis, you can either check this (but you must have read it, it is on the marathon thread about txp’s future that Alex, Nils and I launched...) or here @MODx this thread (you’ll discover Mary is testing MODx too smiley )

            I hope it helps shedding some light about MODx.

            In a few words : MODx is a framework, Textpattern is a publishing system. This means MODx allows you more degrees of freedom since you can litterally build an apllication with it (actually the definition of framework @Wikipedia : A content management framework is an application programming interface for creating a customized content management system). This being said, if you look past the current interface of the manager (Etomite’s inheritance), txp and modx share a lot : modular approach, flexibility, light core... great design concepts IMHO. MODx just go one step further.

            Wikipedia’s def is a pretty accurate description of the incredible and sometimes mind boggling aspect of MODx smiley
            Sencer might call it with sarcasm "the new silver bullet" because I rave on and on about MODx, but I do so for a reason : it might just be the silver bullet app lots of us who don’t know ruby were waiting for tongue

              That’s good to know. I never could get too attached to Dreamweaver. It was always a littel bulky, clunky and glitchy. So I’m glad to hear that ModX is better on all fronts. What more could I ask for? I’ll see about that viral effect.

              And David, I did see your comparison over on "that thread" which BTW keeps getting hits. It really is a wealth of insight on "community building"--a case study, perhaps.
