[TYPO3] SPAM-LOW: Re: Typo3 vs other CMSs

[Ryan Off]

I see it as a step which should not be necessary. Ideally it should  
be possible to see how templates effect your site without having to  
spend much time (meaning somewhere around 15 seconds). The idea of  
skinning is to take it very easy and quick to change the look of your  
site/program/etc. Take for example, Mambo, Drupal, other CMSes,  
WinAmp, Windows XP, etc. You create a theme for the software which  
alters all the colors and layout very quickly and easily. So you can  
try out maybe 10 different skins/themes to your site to see which  
fits your content the best. I don't understand why most of the Typo3  
users don't see why Typo3 should be different than most other pieces  
of software out there that allow skinning/themes?
