It's not that they don't have the feature I want, it's that they are too rich in features, too many options, when all I want to do is one simple thing. It would be much easier for me to write a simple CMS than to modify an existing one. Besides, despite the fact that most CMS are feature-rich, they arn't as flexible as I want. I often find more flexibility in notepad than in Joomla, as it takes me fifteen minutes to make a small change on one particular page in Joomla when it only takes a few seconds in notepad, and maybe a minute to get the FTP client ready and upload it. Not saying I suck at using Joomla, but if I can click approx. 500 times/minute, btu I need to move the cursor that reduces the speed greatly, counter in the time it takes for Joomla to refresh/load, that is only less than ten actions a minute. Then I have to wade through tonnes of pages and security features just to get to the page editor, then I have to spend a couple of minutes looking through a long list of includes and such to find the particular feature I want to modify. Once found, I hen have to locate the specific line of code, and since Joomla has so many unnecessary features (for my purpose) there is potentially thousands of lines of unused HTML/JavaScript/PHP that I have to look through. Then I can change that feature. Oh, BTW, in the time it took to change one feature slightly in Joomla, I could have updated my whole website in notepad.

Don't she dog to me about how n00bish I am for not learning Joomla or whatever and saying I can change features and such because most of the settings cannot be changed unless you go down to the basic HTML code of the Joomla templates. Something as simple as changing where the banner image link takes you could take 10-15 minutes, when the same thing could be done in only two minutes in notepad and filezilla.
