is Rails a CMS ?

[Gaspard Bucher]

Hi list !

More often then not when talking about zena, I find people saying that
"we don't need no freakin' CMS, Rails *is* a CMS".

I posted an article on zenadmin.org with some reflections around this
issue and why some people find it useful to build such tools for rails
(adva-cms, radiant, zena):

Rails is to a CMS as a truck is to a banana.

In fact, the complete argument is that Rails with generic plugins = CMS.
But these arguments mostly date from the early ages of the CMS page on
rails' first wiki when people were discovering REST, pretty urls and
scaffolding...

Ahhh, but you can take a banana to market with a truck... so to speak.
