Comment CMSes suck, with almost no exception (Score 1) 129
The worst thing of using any CMS for a site is that you eventually end up stuffing the information you need into a model someone else thought would fit you. Results are so friggin' miserable that one's gonna puke when they see them. âoeSo, what? But we have managed to set it up in a week!â
No, wait a moment.
In a site that is sexy to use, the content is dominating thing over all other things. The designers really work their asses to make the best presentation for that content, so that there is nothing extraneous left. What good is a login box on a, say, nuclear plant site? It's managed from within company's office anyway, why would you ever expose this kind of stuff to average Joe User?
When you have a CMS, you're treated like a child. Here, you have those neat boxes, move them left, move them right, put in the center. What? You want your breadcrumbs styled some other way and integrated into your main menu? Be prepared to a coding nightmare. You want no boxes whatsoever? No way. And after some time, your brain turns into a box.
This sucks. Rape information to stuff it into boxes or whatever format the CMS forces on you. Makes hard to find what you want, but what the heck, that's teh almighty CMS and we the authors are dumber anyway.
