Look at the current number ones (or should we say, most widely used), they’re not necessarility the best tools in their "segment" (if there is such a thing)...
Should I say it’s all depends on the way how the community market their product
I like the way google do things though. They don’t spent a lot of money in marketing a bluff product spec, while they just keep loayl with their current users/members, and when their loyal users/members satisfied with what they offer, then google start booming without marketing a false spec on their product, instead they let their own market to explain their products.
Should I say that MODx is like Google? We might not be the first to pioneer the CMS, but we might be the unique system that offer a qide range of power to web developers out there, without sacrificing the needs of the designers/end users who knows nothing about programming.
This uniqueness is not currently acceptable by the public, just like that day, when Google plan to have the best search engine on the net, but a lot of dot com company believe with portal and directory system. When the time comes, it’s when Google start booming as if they are just being lucky to discover the best search engine on the web, even though the fact that they have been working on it for the past 2 years in improving the system, while nobody take notice on it.
I believe there is time, when peple will take notice on us, and they will start accpepting the standard that we have in MODx, rather than comparing us with the other CMS system standard.
So for all of you who have been involve in this community, I woulld personally to ask you guys a favor to help make this community better. I believe all the guys behind MODx core team are a good guys, and they have the will to make this CMS (or should I say it CMF?) a lot better than what we see right now.
So lets work together guys! I’m nobody in here, but I know that I’m not making the wrong choice here. If I found something bad that needs to be fixed, I’ll figure out my way to fix it. It’s either knocking on Core Developers’ email and asking them to fix it
or I’ll try my best to fix it myself, and I usually ended up messing it up though. lol
Sincerely,
