Powerful CMS with intuitive interface

What do you like best? I love how easy it is to use, not only for me (not a programmer) but for my 50+ content editors of varying degrees of tech savviness. I can deploy new content types quickly and relatively painlessly. What do you dislike? I wish it had a better calendar tool for front facing Calendar of Events. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We can maintain a decentralized Web content maintenance model so that each expert ...

What do you like best? dotCMS provides a simple flat UI that anyone can use. We can set it up for all kind of users in the company to work on the system. What do you dislike? It isn't open for 3rd party plugins. Some other platforms I used have a community where we can find some useful additional features. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Store contents for management and scale.

What do you like best? Simplicity, I've used other CMS programs such as Shopify, Magento, Wordpress etc and I found I was able to dive straight in and get started, the Velocity took me awhile to get my head around but with it's comparisons to Javascript it's helping me understand. What do you dislike? The updates, not being updated to the latest version (Which solves ALL the issues we initially had.
