The reason we built our own (twice) is that nothing out there met for our needs, although of course our needs will not be the same as yours.

And, as you say, your first intended uses will not necessarily be all your intended uses. That's when you get problems. ddpole, the phrase “targeted to different uses” is good distinction.

Totally agree with you. Lightweight and heavyweight are both necessary. Just targeted to different uses. If I need to take a note I'll use pencil and handbook. If a want to write a book is better to use a PC. To print the book for myself a laser printer is good. But if I need to print a million copies is a better idea to contact an editor. What is important to take in mind, in my opinion, is to not handle all your work to your first choice. If you are a developer is good to take your model code as much as possible apart from the frameworks you're working on. And of course is good to choose that frameworks that do not force you to change your way of writing code. This can be always the open door to scale, when and if it becomes necessary.

As the (former) architect of what you might call a middleweight CMS, I find his argument almost totally wrong. As far as I can tell, it amounts to a false syllogism that goes like this: [...] [...] Nik Silver has a thought-provoking piece on Heavyweight vs Lightweight content management.
