Looking for a CMS

About: cms, php, modx
I'm working wih Helma since a year. Despite all annoyances, I don't want to switch back to PHP for my ongoing projects. But what to do for clients, having their websites hosted by a standard provider? I took the chance to look for new CMS Systems that may favour my needs for small/middle projects. It should be reduced to the maximum and best usability for editors/managers but flexible to extend and with a good API. To my surprise, I found some fresh projects that looks really interesting.
  1. CMS Made Simple was the first candidate. The design is a little rough, but the backend structure was a charme. I think, I would have given it a try, but then I discovered ModXCMS...
  2. ModXCms seems to be what I need. The backend structure isn't my favour at first sight. But it seems that this piece of code is also usable as an Aplication Framework. After all what I've read on Ajaxian I will give it a try and share my experience here.

I am doing two projects with ModX at the moment. The basic installation is pretty straightforward. The following module/plugin installation/configuration have to be done manually. So a little minus at this point. But overall architecture seems to be great. You can configure/manipulate and hook in every system action. It's not like installing a plugin and just having the described functionality. It's more than building new functionality/apps by configuring plugins. See for example the tutorials on Ditto:
