[TYPO3-project-4-3] New Backend?

[Tyler Kraft]

Granted, the BE isn't very pretty looking, and when one is logged in as 
a admin user it's very busy looking, but it does have a efw things going 
for it IMHO.

+1 I think these two factors - the tree structure and the defined areas 
for content - are great things. My other half has just recently started 
working using a different  CMS that does not have a page tree structure 
and she has huge list of complaints about how hard it is to find 
anything in the site, or the hierarchy of pages. She as already started 
a small campaign to have her new employer think about moving CMS's all 
because theirs is so hard to work with and so in-flexible compared to 
the power of Typo3.

Yes, but while this is true it also displays the sheer power of the CMS, 
and all of these functions and ways of doing things have a purpose. In 
most case if the access is set right for the average user they don't 
seem to have a problem, in fact they usually don't even know how much 
they don't have access to.

Just my 2cents
