What’s the best CMS?

What is the best CMS? This is a question that I am asked all the time. There are so many options out there that answering this question is no small task. Once again Jeffery Scott comes through with an amazing article as he reviews the The Top 10 Open Source Content Management Systems. What does his list look like? Here it is:

  1. Drupal
  2. WordPress
  3. Joomla
  4. Media Wiki
  5. Liferay
  6. TYPO3
  7. Moodle
  8. Dolphin
  9. Pligg
  10. Movable Type

His conclusion was that Drupal edged out the top spot because of its ease of use, great support, and vast number of modules. He concedes that WordPress is a really a close second. I’m not sure I agree with his exact order, but I’m biased because I’ve been developing on WordPress for years and I’m very familiar with it. I’d probably put the top three like this:

  1. WordPress
  2. Drupal
  3. Movable Type

Of course, with the introduction of Acquia to the scene, that may change in the near future. Either way, the article is a great read.
