Very powerful but slightly aged

    by TheAlienist

Disclaimer: I haven't played with Typo3 in at least a year. However I'd be surprised if it changed that significantly.

Typo3 is an insanely powerful CMS system. In fact, it's so powerful, it should be put in a category in itself. Beyond managing content it also comes with a very powerful administrative website - think of it as a built-in IDE. You can extend plugins easily or simply define your own. These plugins can include custom data ... [More] objects (and their relationships), web UI to represent your new objects as well as roles for them. In my few months of evaluation, I never reached the full depth of the product - it's just that huge.

However, the entire system, imho, felt a little old. As powerful as it is, it has accumulated a lot of quirks. You need to right-click a lot - which I found weird (I'm on a Mac). The documentation is not great - and while I love the fact that its internationalization is second to none - I often found that English does not dominate its user base. This means that some posts or discussion boards that might have contained answers I was seeking were written in German, or something else.

Finally I thought the codebase had outgrown the PHP it had sprouted from. I continue to be amazed by what Kasper has accomplished and recommend people to strongly consider Typo3. However in my case I ended up writing a website from scratch using Ruby & Rails. [Less]

Sanest of all PHP CMSes I've seen.

    by viyyer

One of the major achievements of Typo3 as a CMS is the point there is not embedded HTML code in the whole of the Core code.

It has a whole load of extensions. Many with varied level of maturity.

I am looking forward for typo3 5.0 thought 4.x is very very mature and state of art.

I shall not re run the same list of feature which you might check on CMS matrix or http://typo3.com/Feature_list.1243.0.html
Let me ... [More] start a buzz word compatibility show.

most robust. The Stable version of Typo3 seldom have security vulnerabilities and has a dedicated security team for testing and patching.

most customizeable. I think typoscript is very very powerful. I have know people writing dynamic pages just with typoscript.

Very secure and easy code to understand unless you have a cryptic extension developed. and each extension is encouraged to have documentation and many do have.

Though there is a certain learning curve for doing implementation and deployment, which I suppose is worth the deal.

Hail to the great Typo3 community. [Less]
