Anyone worked with ExpressionEngine? How does it compare to Radiant?
I own a copy (and can sell/transfer it to you if you end up wanting to go with it).
I'd hoped that, because it was a "mature" product, it'd be quicker to get up and running than with Radiant, where the docs weren't very complete (this was before Mohit's excellent work).
In reality, EE is just as hit-and-miss as any other CMS. There are some things that work great, some "what do you mean it doesn't do X?" gaps, some patches upon patches in the design, and a whole lot of infrastructure to learn before you can dive in and start editing templates.
EE is in the middle of a grand rewrite to 2.0, which has been on the horizon since at least last March. Meanwhile, their support team is highly responsive, but...
Well, there's a strange vibe in the forums, is the best I can put it. They have an annotated user guide (like PHP), but only users who've posted 100 messages to the forums can add notes. Which means you don't get any of the "I just installed this, and here's what documentation would have helped me" posts. Kinda the whole point of a wiki. It felt, I dunno, controlling, in that old-school programmer way.
