I wasn't taking a stab at JojoCMS or it's creators but merely pointing out that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Although I guess that Harvey was predicting replies rather than making a statement of his own. Sorry if what I said came across a bit insulting.
Did "Drupal, Wordpress, Silverstripe" not all exist when JojoCMS was started? As I briefly mentioned, we've been using out own CMS in house for a year now and the reason for creating it was because with the thousands of CMSes out there, nothing fulfilled our needs, not even close. We recently showed the new version that we're working on at the last Auckland PHP Meetup. You will all be able to pass judgement on it mid-next year after we open source the next iteration (to be powered by Symfony2). That said, we are utilising other technology rather than rolling everything ourselves. Tech includes Symfony, Doctrine and ExtJS. Writing your own ORM, Framework and CMS all from scratch would be rather silly.
