I have been watching this closely and have just implemented Joomla for a client where I would normally have implemented Mambo. Still pretty much an identical product although I can see there are numerous fixes and updates under the hood. I will continue to use Joomla as long as it providing my non-standards-conscious clients with the same easy-to-use interface as Mambo is/was.
Keep up the good work!
