If you can justify how this would make GS complicated I would be glad to hear it!
Well in my personal opinion the only reason for using GetSimple is the simplicity. There are already like a million cms that have endless features. If people are looking for a lot of bloat, they would directly take Joomla, Typo3, TangoCMS, Drupal, CMS Made Simple, ModX, PHP-Fusion, Wordpress, Mambo, Xoops, PHP-Nuke, Enano, Kontao, eZ-Publish, Concrete5, e107, sNews, Cutephp, ImpressCMS, Silverstripe ... [place your bloat-cms here]
I respect your wish for more features, but IMO it would be better to concentrate onto core competencies:
- as simple as it is possible
- as fast as possible
- make it userfriendly
- make it secure
It's just my opinion, but as far as I know GetSimple was constructed for small sites. So the only real need is to make it as easy as possible to enable the people to easily update their site with the most possible efficiency. To include more and more new features is a contradiction of this goal.
I'm a programmer myself for many years, so I know that it is only a small step to include nearly every feature wanted by somebody. I really respect this, but it's also a great danger to loose the focus from primary goals.
No offense, but a cms is only a tool to get the job done and that's the reason why I love GetSimple - it gets the job done without tons of useless bloat. If I'm in need of a cms for something from the middle or bigsize market, I choose another proper tool like Typo3 or Joomla.
