How fitting that you end your time here with yet another off-topic post. eZ Publish makes no apologies about its steep learning curve as it is far outweighed by the powerful new features you gain access too once you understand how to use the software. Had you spent your time in these forums carefully reading the posts and requesting assistance with specific problems, like the rest of us, you would be well on your way to taking advantage of all that eZ has to offer.

You're repeating yourself and frankly, it doesn't get any more interesting or relevant.
This is an open source project that's FREE for you. Take it or leave it. Instead of bitching about missing docs, you could contribute your own (they even allow you to add them with three clicks, which goes a long way to show how flexible the CMS really is) but I'm getting the impression you simply don't care enough to dive into the software and go figure it out on your own (like most of us are doing). Or you could just order the commercial support contract and get all the help you need.
Nobody says you can't post specific questions to the forums (but check the history first, a lot has been answered already) as most of us do and quite often, the eZ people will answer the really complicated stuff for free but please stop posting rants without any productive content.
eZ was awesome. I've never seen such seamless integration as with the modules in the demo. It's also appealing for its "tinker" value -- for those of you who like getting under the hood. I really don't have time for that, though. I need to put up some sites fast.
Still, I won't soon forget the elegance of eZ. There will also be a place in my heart for it. . .
Just a word of warning. Typo3 is incredibly more difficult to install and configure. They do provide some essential documentation but to do anything more substantial takes as much or more effort.
I found PostNuke the easiest to setup a quick preformatted web site. But for myself and others who are more technical in nature I appreciate the freedom in the eZ framework tool.
