so? You can perfectly write modules for DNN in C#, and that's what
you'll do. You won't touch the DNN source yourself.

While we sponsor rainbow with their project, I've to admit they're not
(yet) up to par with the featureset of DNN at the
moment.

1) for what kind of site will this CMS be used? Your company's website?
If so, the person who's controlling the website,
does that person understand what it takes to design a website and above all:
add the right information to the website for the
potential visitors? A CMS often opens up the road for the manager to 'control
the website as he sees fit' which results in a lot of
cases in a horrible website, lack of info etc.
I always advice people to pick the CMS which is recommended by the team
of specialists which will setup and control the
website.
2) you seem to forget that a CMS is a tool. So you should pick the tool
which works the best and has the most features. When
I check the screenshots of cuyahoga, no offence but that's not even DNN 1.0.
