Boblet: CMS rant
I see Boblet pretty often on the #radiantcms chat room, where he posted a link to this.
I’ve found myself thinking the exact same things while evaluating CMSes. I picked Radiant because of its minimalism and great extensibility. However, it is plagued by a couple of things that I fear are too much of a departure from its original design and implementation (and the extensions’ implementations).
For example, I can’t help but think that having the data store be completely filesystem based (and therefore able to be checked into version control) would simplify versioning and deployment. That part’s simple (and possible in a Radiant extension. The hard part is coming up with a simple yet powerful interface.
