I researched 100s of CMSes, narrowed it down to 10 or so and then tried each of those for a commercial site I built some time ago - EE was my final choice. For all round support, ease of build and ease of admin for clients it's very good. There are a few shortfalls (lack of preview, some db export bugs, form handling) but it seems to have the least issues of anything else I could find. EE is very nice.

As a customer, you have way more power to get developers to listen because, face it, money talks. I love Drupal, but $249 for a commercial site is peanuts. If it keeps a core of guys in business supporting users, then that's great.

I look foward to future posts too. For those that don't see why you pay... download core and try it. I can’t recommend EE enough, and it’s worth every penny. I'd happily pay the price even for a 3 page site (ok slight overkill). In a nut-shell the support you get is fantastic and the flexibility you have with your markup is only limited by your imagination. Don’t forget there’s a whole host of plugins, extensions and modules out there. A lot of which as free and from experience 99% of the time if it doesn’t do what you want and it’s a valid request the developers in question send you a new plugin within days. You’re also buying into the community, which is one of the best I ever experienced. Again if you have problems they are normally resolved within 24 hours. In 18 months+ I've been running EE there’s been a few stressful challenges but 99% of the time there’s a solution. I haven’t experiences this with any other CMS, that what I love and will continue to pay for EE. Hey great post… I look foward to future posts too.
