Typo3 is relatively tough to learn, but the creator and all involved in typo3.org are friendly and helpful. The possibilities with Typo3 are endless. I am just still a new beginner, having played with a local setup and wish I could find a buddy nearby for now setup the online envrironment as wanted. But I will get there. If u admire quality, flexibility, reliability. u can count on it. TYPO3 is an excellent robust framework to build your websites or web applications on. There is a lot of learning required, but with each iteration of the project it is getting easier to use. The vast number of extensions available means a lot of reading to find the right ones but they save a lot of development time. Powerful CMS with huge amount of extensions. Often more complicated than what would be required but I still like it.
