I've known Brandon for close to 10 years. I'll also state that Brandon and his team are some of the most competent programmers I know. He was easily one of the top developers of add-ons for ExpressionEngine before starting Craft. His dedication and customer service are top notch and he, in a very jobs-ian way, seems to know what developers need before they even ask for it.

Craft will be around for a long time. Open Source projects see higher adoption rates because hosting companies have 1-click installers for them. But if you look at high quality, high traffic sites the playing field is much more evenly spread.

Anyway, buy with confidence. Brandon doesn't know I am posting this. He did not ask for this endorsement. But I love what he is doing and would easily recommend it to anyone looking for a flexible system that is easy for clients to use

I second everything Marcus just said. I have been using Brandon's tools (plugins and CMS) since 2008, and have consistently been impressed with the quality and attention to detail that he and his team give to each release.

Just look at "craftcms" in Google Trends and you'll see a nice trajectory of community interest and involvement moving forward: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=craftcms&cmpt=q&tz=E...

+1000 for this!

Brandon and the Pixel & Tonic team are wonderful developers and human beings. They have a true care for their product. The community around CraftCMS is very friendly, helpful and empowering.

You can't go wrong with CraftCMS. I found my happy CMS ecosystem :)
