Hi Tim thanks for the perspective it's always nice to hear news straight from the source,
Let me add another one though, I have been doing Management Server / Delivery Server development for 5 years. When we started it was a very quick way for us to get up and running with an enterprise level CMS. Since then, we have had continuous serious issues with performance and functionality of both systems. Several System audits and major hardware changes have made the system stable enough for our needs although publishing on our older projects is still flaky. But forget about all that, since that is my (the developers) problem. The real issue is that the smartEdit interface is dated, slow and unresponsive. My users know this, they have seen the alternatives and they are not happy about it. We recently went through a project to evaluate other systems and the truly extensible dynamic systems available today simply put Management server to shame. Modern CMS should look and feel like a desktop application not crawl along reloading the page with every click. My users should be able to drag and drop content elements as allowed by the templates, not have to navigate countless grey dialog boxes. I as the developer should have access to my content via REST calls on the Delivery server not have to spend time on Apache rewrites. I should not have to dig into Java garbage collection to simply set up my delivery server without it crashing every day. The truth at this point is that the only reason we continue to use Management Server/Delivery Server is that we are too heavily invested in it and cannot afford to move off. In my opinion that is not a good reason. - Dmtiry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RedDot CMS Users" group.
