Okay, I have a bit of backup now (or so I think): [jeffreypalermo.com/.../#](http://jeffreypalermo.com/blog/asp-net-mvc-wins-with-simplicity-not-features/#) That's what I meant. I realize it's my opinion, and we obviously differ, but

Dmitriy, This is something that I need to do for myself, as such, I am the best judge. I updated 3 different sites today, and the process has been wonderfully painless. I know what the best way to create content is, for me. And so far, it has been working great.

Oren, "I am willing to build my own thing to get a friction free process." Why do you think that building your own CMS will be much less friction free? Any "statistics"/analysis behind that or it is a gut feeling, or maybe lessons learned and experience? On the other hand I agree that most of the CMS-s are too bloated, painful to use and maintain. In such cases I just think about creating custom web application which gives a lot of benefits if you are technical enough (sure enough we all are). The issue with it is that end-users won't be able to contribute the way you would expect. But for me the biggest issues with CMS-s are editing and publishing :) [dnagir.blogspot.com/.../...tpublishing-system.html](http://dnagir.blogspot.com/2009/10/content-managementpublishing-system.html)

I love Balsamiq, but it all depends who the intended audience is. A more functional demo is sometimes what customers want. We often forget that the person making a lot of decisions is not always that tech savy.

Funny...a few weeks ago I also decided to kick off my own CMS, for similar reasons. That source code is available though, at my github. Seems to be that time of the year.

The problem with such demo is that managers think the product is there so they wouldn't understand why it'd take so long to ship the final one. If it's done with balsamiq, they wouldn't get why it took so long to release such...bah~~ Just random whines

My first demo to the client would be balsamiq mockups with no code. Feedback very soon.

Good point about the demo, I rarely work in an environment where demos are necessary anymore, so I didn't think about it.
