[please don't top-post]
Without taking up too much of your time, could you give me a few
highlights as to: why?
I was just considering using DNN, but value your opinion as to why not to
use it.
It's written in VB.NET.
It has a totally unnecessary 10-directory-deep application tree.
Cryptic default rewriting scheme and modification is not very
straightforward. The more often than not results in very low search engine
visibility.
Very awkward administration.
It's almost impossible to modify DNN without a huge amount of work.
Basically, if you want to deviate even slightly from the standard
templates, you're in trouble. You can spot a DNN site at 100 paces, just
like you could with a FrontPage site...
Etc.
