Why open source? As a pro developer, the time saved (and time is often much more costly than a License) on a proprietary CMS may best serve myself and the client.

You should not limit your available tools. And of course, different tools work better for different jobs.

For most things, I prefer ExpressionEngine.

Mediasurface for my job, but they are seriously searching for a good replacement.

I think Google could suggest such things. It just kills me when I see quick posts like this. Just go to Google, do your research, and then ask us specific questions. Do you like this CMS? Does anyone have experience using x?

You're wasting your time with this kind of post.

We are a web-shop, and the CMS we use is called Seagull (google Seagull Project) - it's relatively unknown, however has been in development for a few years now. It's quite powerful and robust providing many commonly used modules that are found in most sites (user, CMS, media etc.)

It's open source and the developers are quite helpful on the mailing list. Documentation is fairly decent with many howto guides for newcomers. Being a web-developer for over 7 years I highly recommend it.
