I think one of the key point about a good CMS is having a way to mix
ready made components with custom layout and presentation.
Allow as much reuse as possible with much freedom. There should be a
way to apply themes, but their functionality should not go much beyond
But above above presentation a good CMS should have a good publication
work flow, customizable to some extent.
IMHO here too many degrees of freedom are not good for spreading a
CMS. A take it or leave it approach is often successful with CMSs.
Here simplicity should come before flexibility.
