Guys. Jaws is just great! I was searching for a CMS which would be simple enough and which allowed me to modify themes easily - and it wasn't really that simple to find. But Jaws satisfied my needs greatly! I spent like 5 hours to figure it out - and now I'm able to create really personalized dynamic website. I don't like those complicated CMSs which do not let me to make my website designed totally up to me - and Jaws is the one which does!
I really recommend it!

Has great potential but still needs allot of work.
Its sad that you can't categorize the content and select different templates for it.
There is also no WYSIWYG editor.

Having looked at Drupal, Joomla, ModX, Harabi and others - JAWS to me was easy to use, stable, very easy to administer, nice to look at and clearly laid out. Downsides - lack of plug-ins, and (unless I've missed something) ACL's to things like Bloggs and just general 'user' management/authorization.

This is a really good CMS, which is languishing in popularity a bit because A) there's so little documentation, and B) there are so few templates.
The layout interface beats Joomla hands down. Just drag and drop a gadget where you want to see it. It's just so easy to get a site up and running quickly.
My top wish list items are:
A "donate" gadget which integrates with PayPal and Google Checkout, with callback functionality which keeps track of who paid what.
It would be great if it were possible to easily add fields to user-registration screen.
The launcher gadget seems pretty powerful and easy to use, but the dearth of documentation makes it hard to figure out how to use Jaws variables, classes and methods inside your script.

Jaws and MODx - this is the future of CMS systems! :)

I've tested Joomla, Drupal and several others. I may have been convinced by the number of addons and templates, but for the ease of use ... they were far from intuitive.
Jaws IS intuitive and efficient. Just choose a template, choose what gadgets you need (blog, user panel, chat, menus, ...), drag them on the template areas (yes ! in the frontend !), and you're ready to write your content.
I just wish the community to create more templates and gadgets (but it's not bad for a beginning !)

Jaws is awesome, except for one thing: DOCUMENTATION.
It has none (actually it has a bit, but 90% of it makes no sense)
Please, Jaws devs, update the docs! What's the use of writing an awesome CMS if you don't provide the tools for other programmers to extend it?
For third-party devs, I hope you're a PHP wizard who doesn't need docs.
For normal users, this is a great CMS.

This is definitely the easiest CMS I've used, took me no more than a minute to do what seemed like forever in Joomla.
It just isn't the most functional CMS I've ever used.
