"dotCMS, a well built and flexible CMS"

The architecture of dotCMS is very flexible. You can integrate other enterprise components such as LDAP, caching with Redis, a CDN etc.. to really create a robust deployment. Additionally, the fact that its open source makes it even that much better.

I think the development experience with VTL templating could be improved if they were to support additional templating languages.
