Number 15 here.
Every one of the CMS's available have had their pitfalls and their high points.
From a server administration stance, my experience with Carma
in late 2006 / early 2007 was horrible:
- It needed a custom old version of ffmpeg with older hard-coded command lines; OS updates and new features would cause it to break.
- The installation I inherited would arbitrate the database for every page view instead of making a static page, and lacked the ability to cache well; but that may have been a bug in the support libraries.
- Slooow and massive CPU use.
I've gotten out of an awful custom CMS and had most of the functionality required added directly into MAS. Ross has modified a few pre-existing functions for my own specific requirements, which took MONTHS, but it works 100%, and I highly doubt he's going to leave Mansion in the next year or two.
I spent less on my MAS with custom features - and support - than was spent on the old custom CMS that doesn't know it's ass from it's elbow and had absolutely no features but 'search' and 'watch'.
