Cool project, what CMS did you guys use?
- SwellJoe 18y agoWhile I agree, I think the same argument can be made that most frameworks impose some of the same problems as a pre-built CMS. I've never worked with Django, so I won't accuse it specifically of having this problem, but I know that Ruby on Rails in the past made building anything other than a CRUD application a pointless exercise in working around rather than working with (I specify "in the past", as I haven't tinkered with RoR in a few years, and I'm certain it has evolved dramatically in that time). I'm fond of the phrase "libraries not frameworks", and I've been hearing it from lots of folks lately, and I think it's probably a backlash against choosing tools and then trying to figure out how to bolt your ideas into the poorly fitting framework. TANSTAAFL, and all, being what it is, sometimes it's better to build bottom up rather than choose a framework that was designed for a different kind of application.
