[TYPO3] *** POSSIBLE SPAM (3.5) *** Re: GPL Liscense and login / BE

[Andrew Davis]

like everything else, some get it some don't and then there's the
folks in between.

for those that get it, they love it, for those who don't, there's no
chance they ever will. its the folks in the middle were trying to get
rolling with it....

joomla isnt the answer because it is too abstract... the page tree in
typo3 is the best thing ever, when you are workingwith pages. when
working with special functionality (products records, etc.) sysfolders
get weird for people. 

I hear that 4.2 is supposed to have some major backend redesigns?
