DotNetNuke - Any suggestions?

[Pat]

Does anybody have any suggestions on DotNetNuke.
Is it easy to use and install?
Should I use it or not?

I'll appreciate if I get any suggestion on it.

Thanks, Pat.

Walk the other way. Don't bother using it

Without taking up too much of your time, could you give me a few highlights
as to: why?

I was just considering using DNN, but value your opinion as to why not to
use it.

Thanks,
Brian

It's written in VB.NET.

It has a totally unnecessary 10-directory-deep application tree.

Cryptic default rewriting scheme and modification is not very
straightforward. The more often than not results in very low search engine
visibility.

Very awkward administration.

It's almost impossible to modify DNN without a huge amount of work.
Basically, if you want to deviate even slightly from the standard
templates, you're in trouble. You can spot a DNN site at 100 paces, just
like you could with a FrontPage site...

Etc.

Thanks everybody for your comments.

I think it's a matter of taste... I just recently saw an example of a
corporate sites based on DNN (tarkettna.com, azrock.com). I think I
will never use it myself, but take a look at the links, you can do a
lot with it

i have many years of experience to work with CMS as a Programmer, What i
found DNN is the best that provides very strong backbone library structure
with exposing our customization with enhancement. I found most of DNN
clients are more then happy by fully editable and configurable CMS with
desired custom modules too. I really appreciate a effort that provided behind
development of DNN team.

Surely, i will suggest DNN for Content Management System

Thanks,
