synq, I have not heard of it, but did visit the site, checked out the demo and found it lacking, IMHO, even simplistic, particularly in the area of control over design elements, style sheets, etc.

I use a combination of Perl, HTML::Template, MySQL, and the MS DHTML Editing Component (severely tweaked to use CSS tags, etc.). It gives the user much more typographic control and control over images and their placement.

My biggest beef with Content Managers is with the editor itself. Granted the MS Editing Component is only supported in IE on Windows (and I do all my development on a Mac), it allow the user to style content without seeing the HTML code behind it (I wish other browsers supported TextRange and the like--so we could build our own WYSIWYG editors).

I'm sure there are some qualities of WebGUI that are not revealed on first brush, but IMO I don't see the robustness called for in these days of CSS and XHTML.

You should check out the similar Typo3 open-source system as well.
