I did audit a lot of CMS systems before choosing one as my general use one, but it was a subjective audit :) I tend to use typo3 as default unless it's obvious that it doesn't excel in the right areas. Or for small to medium sized websites. Typo3 needs quite a bit of grunt. You can set up a pretty good static file cacheing system for it, but it takes a lot of configuring to get certain elements to cache. It’s a fair point.

The post was slightly tongue-in-cheek and flippant so I didn't feel obliged to include see-it-from-all-sides qualifications, but I accept your point that there's no single best cms as it depends on the user and the job. However I think you fall into exactly the same trap when you say that Typo3 is "objectively more technically accomplished and capable". Hi Ralph.

No. It isn't. Objectively Typo3 is more technically accomplished and capable and subjectively all CMS packages have strengths and weaknesses and a good web developer knows to find the one that fits the website, not shoehorn the website into the CMS.

As it looks like "Tarts" with a wee Scottish accent, that somebody wants you to "Buy" and "Dry". But when I first saw "Drupal" I thought "Drop all" and yes it does sound rather depressing maybe he should rename it to "Grupal" At least that way it might sound like "Group All" :) As to Mollom and Drupal being Old English, yes there are roots in Brussels - but nobody dares come forward, maybe check "Dries" friends and folks out. But with a name like his I'm sure he'll have had more nicknames thrown at him and will be well prepared with loads of new ones ready for his next package - would be nice if you got in touch with him and ask him about the names he chose, why and more which ones he rejected :) “Dries Buytaert” how is that actually pronounced?
