From first look, it appears ExpressionEngine is something Modx is heading towards -  a multi-purpose everything framework ? What most of us would be interested in is a multi-framework we can use for everything, blogs, mai lists,  forums, website etc instead of having to use mutliple software.

Yeah I know EE I have used it for 2 years for my blog... great software, but cluttered admin IMHO and MODx is more flexible... I don't have time (leaving for w-e) but I'll get back here with a more detailed comparison...

Not to mention that Expression Engine isn't free whereas MODx is.  Wink

But EE is really nice and their site redesign is incredible. Good stuff really, but not the same thing as MODx. I think MODx is more like a blend of Code Igniter and EE. Smiley

Well i think that modx 0.9.7 new manager will surpass expression engine and immersecms.
I've played with expression engine a while (the free version) and the fact that you use templates as different "folder" from modx is very strange and sometimes irritating Smiley.
I hope that modx 0.9.7 will start to have a good documentation for the framework. Something like the one from codeignitor would be great cause that one is super Cheesy
