well...ummm...if you'ld like a complely independant
answer..............only joking.
I must
admit to not knowing anyone who is working fulltime with both Farcry and
Shado but know a number who have dabbled with both.
Firstly, both myself and Geoff are pretty open and honest about the
respective merits of both products which both have different architectures to
basically achieve similar goals. This means that choice comes down to
personal preference and which tool best fits to provide a given solution for a
client, this often goes outside of just technical issues in many
cases.
Overall, (hey, I'm the vendor and make money out of selling the thing so
take this as you will) Shado probably has more user interface components than
FarCry (Geoff alluded to this at the MM partner day in Sydney so I"m sure I'm
not out of line with the comment). We have taken the decision to build user
inteface components that we belive 90% of our potential clients require, FarCry
gives you the option ( as I understand it) to build (or extend the
base ) yourself.
So,
from a purely technical perspecitive it's the age old buy v build argument as I
see it with regards to the interface. The tricky bit is that FarCry comes with
UI componets on install and that Shado is also very extendable so it's back
to personal preference and trying both to see which one fits your requirements
best.
As I
said, I'm the vendor so it ain't like you're getting this from an
indepentant source but if you ask FarCryer's they love it and if you ask
Shadoer's they love it ( well....i hope they do :-) ) so hard to get indepenant
advice until there are developers using both.
Cheers
Grant

Subject: [cfaussie] [OT] CMS Shado vs FarCry -> User friendlinessHas anyone worked with both Shado and FarCry?
If so, which one of the two did they consider the most user-friendly?I know Shado is a nice developers tool etc. but when looking at it from an end-user perspective i.e. non developers being able to work with it, what CMS is recommended?
