That's definitely true. "Cool" isn't good vocabulary to promote an 
enterprise level CMS (ahrg, he said this "enterprise level" buzz word 
again ;-) ). Neither should it be used (too often) in "official" 
presentations nor should it appear on typo3.com.

I meant it the other way around: If a new paradigm (ouch, he said this 
buzz word "new paradigm" again ;-) ) is attributed to be "cool" it does 
not necessarily have to be "bad/unusable/form outer space". So, it was 
just a handy hint for a (virtual) newcomer.

> Cool is good, but good is even cooler ;-)

That’s a cool statement ;-)
