If I had to summarize what I like about XOOPS in one word it would be Flexibility.
In just about every application I've needed a CMS I've been able to custom taylor XOOPS to suite my needs with minimal to marginal effort and with very little knowledge of PHP and MySQL.
Considering that I've been fortunate enough to work on projects ranging from low budget personal pages all the way up to moderately high traffic, internationally recognized sites, I would say this speaks volumes with regards to the flexibility of XOOPS.
If I had to pick 1 favorite feature of XOOPS, I would have to say it's the theme engine. I absolutely love how simple it is! With a small number of SMARTY variables, a minimal understanding of PHP and a good understanding of (x)HTML, it's relatively easy to develop highly flexible sites that are far from the old *NUKE look and feel.
I guess my opinion of XOOPS could be summed up in the following statement...
After working with all the major CMS and Blog platforms on the market, I've consistently found that XOOPS has the simplest deployment and customization path and most straight-forward administrative interface of any other product on the market.
That's why I use XOOPS and that's why I will continue to support XOOPS.
Best Regards,

Insanity can be defined as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
Stupidity is not a crime. Therefore, you are free to go.
