Drupal vs. Ruby on Rails

Use Drupal 4.7, it’s good.

None of them will have only the chance to compete with something as
typo3 for the next couple of years.

I’m not sure what this sentence means (sorry), but I’m assuming it’s
implying that typo3 is something good. Please, if you value your time,
do
not use typo3. It’s a black hole, it’s quicksand. It’s ugly.

I’ve been making Typo3 sites for about a year. The documentation is
terrible. Recently the documentation was made even worse when the Typo3
guys
redesigned their site and all their links broke, and I still can’t find
half
of the docs that I was finding useful. The API isn’t documented. There
are
no message boards, the mailing list was almost impossible to find.

Some of these problems would have been alleviated if the code was
structured
in an easily intelligible fashion, like RoR is, but Typo3 code isn’t.
Trying
to find its crappy html to alter it and make it standards compliant is
like
wading through a Vietnamese jungle.

There must be a difference between pragmatic and fanatic at some point,
and for sure one could (re)build phpbb or oscommerce in RoR,
but then, who will, how long will it take…and better, where is this
TODAY ??

I’d like to think that one could NOT rebuild oscommerce in RoR. That’s a
whole nother nightmare. Ew.

In conclusion: don’t go with Typo3.
