I happened on GetSimple via opensourcecms.com something like 1.5 years back, maybe even a bit longer ago. What I saw at the time showed a lot of promise but was still lacking a number of features I felt we needed for our clients.
In the meantime we opted for RuubikCMS, a CMS wich in quite a few ways is similar to GetSimple. Especially in the ease-of-use department for the end-users. Which in our opinion is what is most important. It's nice to have a CMS that has all the bells and whistles you could think of but in the end is very complex in using (the dreaded Joomla springs to mind).
Naturally I always kept an eye on GetSimple in the meantime because I liked it a lot. The project has matured very nicely in the meantime, overtaking the previously preffered Ruubik. Especially the ever growing range of plugins.
So I did a test project in November, GetSimple came through in flying colours. Then did a production site for a client, again a huge success, the client loved it and took to it like a duck to water.
In the meantime we (sounds quite heavy hahaha but we are a 2-man operation doing corporate design, advertising and webdevelopment for a very diverse customer-base, ranging from 1-man companies to multinationals) have decided to go with GetSimple as our CMS of choice for small to mid-size companies.
I am now working with it almost daily and absolutely love it. It is a very robust system which, thanks to the diverse nature of the plugins can be used for all types of websites.
Good job all!
