I've heard lots of good things as well, however the complaints I have
heard have been about the cost of developers, software and modules. 
Just so those of you get an idea of where I am coming from I usually
am dealing with clients who have no time for anything, they have no
budget, and they have no point of reference from which to start from,
so alot of what I end up doing is education.

If you can do it yourself and you dont mind working with a system that
is more of a framework, and gives you good documentation and your the
one doing the coding.  You might want to look into Interchange. 
Interchange is free, and downloadable, modules, and some pretty good
features.  Its perl so for some thats nothing big.  Interchange
developers are pretty expesive so if you have to rely on a developer
then your going to want to go with their suggestion.
