MODx is geared towards the webmaster who needs a common framework that can be extended without limit to fit the requirements of the end-user. So it’s understandable that MODx would come across as "bare bones" out of the box.
Compared to those Modx comes across as a bare bones CMS, though a powerful and extensible.
once you package all this together instead of letting people fiddle around with the plugins, I’m sure there’ll be no stopping modx. It’s great.
