smashingmagazine.com— Choosing a content management system can be tricky. Without a clearly de?ned set of requirements, you will be seduced by fancy functionality that you will never use. What then should you look for in a CMS?

Design flexibilty etc are just parts of the initial phases of a web project. When a web project is done, what becomes central is further support and enhancements. Any custom-made CMS will quickly become legacy if there's no active development. Choosing the best long-term solution should be focused on developing and supporting in-house only the business differentiating features and their respective modules, where the core and all generic functionality should be supported by a (open source) community.
I tried it, but I won't commit to using it until they get the CodeIgniter-based EE version 2.0 out (and who the hell knows when that'll finally happen after over a year of talking about it).

I picked up Typo3 recently. It's a complete son-of-a-bitch to learn, but is quite the beast for flexibility.

This article is a just a list of features. It would be a lot more helpful if it actually compared the different CMSs.
