Hi Josh,

A quick answer to your question. It depends on what you want.
eZ has a solid core for CMS work and commerce in version 3.0 and if that what you want then your fine.
eZ have made the decision to get the core features solid and reliable before working on the add-on features. This in my opinion is the correct decision as it enables people to create sites now. Should you wish Polls or bulk mail bad enough you can either code it yourself.

I think maturaty is an interesting word, and it has too many meanings nowadays to be useful on its own. I think that mature mean solid and reliable, but other people may believe it means feature rich. This is why i have answered your question on the former explanation.

I agree, it is not a full, user friendly cms as of yet. I am in no way a programmer and without my friend working on with me on this i could NEVER have used ez for my needs. However, with his help im finding it to be the most versatile (aside from the info collector) cms solution available. In the last coule of weeks I've been searching frantically for something better because of featrures id like to impliment in EZ that it simply isnt ready for yet (advanced ratings and such, however RDB should have an actual module getting around the lacking info collector soon) and so forth. While several cms's are nice, and user friendly, they, none of them, have near the template versatility of ez 3 and awesome ability to tailor so many functions to your own needs with your own style.
In conclusion, I am dissappointed by certain shortcomings that exist now. But I am confident that within a year Ez3 will become the pinnacle CMS that it has the potential to be.
If I ever make money off the site I'm gunna launch ill support the crew by buying the editor, but right now I can only afford 30 dollar hosting and godaddy domains.
PS: Anyone interested in cheap custom quality hosting (for 30 a year i get about 1.5 gigs of space and 5 gigs monthly transfer!) check out Ihawkins.com. Cpanel and Ensim available.
