I agree with most of the above (though I don't think performance is that bad). I was going to go with Radiant until BrowserCMS came along, and after completing one project (http://tcaproject.org) and with another 3 on the way I'm enjoying BrowserCMS. Its main strengths are that it looks good for clients, provides a WYSIWYG and in-place editing style (CKEditor is coming), and is well integrated into Rails. I especially like how it handles custom content types, so you can easily generate content types that fit the customers business, and automatically get a CRUD interface for them to use. There are some useability warts, and the lack of thumbnails in the admin list of images bugs me, but it is moving forward faster than Radiant, and there is an actual company behind it. Performance wise I run it with a few other low traffic sites on a Linode 384MB with REE and Passenger and its fine. I don't think it has been very optimised for performance yet, and most things are addressable by the developer eg. X-Sendfile aupport. Its just Ruby and Rails - use the custom module feature and/or monkey patch away! Cheers, Gary
