I'm eager to hear some experiences on this area. Without any MVC development experience I dove into SilverStripe because the structure and API seemed clean, logical and flexible.
I'm looking for experiences from people who worked with Umbraco (ASP MVC) and SilverStripe and invite them to share their opinion when comparing these frameworks on prior mentioned criteria.
I don't know Umbraco well enough, but I can already tell that it wins on flexibility.
I had a quick look at silverstripe and am a new user of Umbraco.
From what I can see the dev side of things in silverstripe may be a little 'simpler' but also harder when you want to do something complex or different to what they expect. Security may also be an issue that is harder to deal with.
That being said I also hate faffing around with IIS (why I use Azure with my Umbraco websites).
My experience has been this:
Flexibility: as you said Umbraco wins this hands down.
Clean: Umbraco as a fully compiled system will have the ability to run faster and more complex code. It is pretty streamlined when you get used to it.
Logical: Umbraco inherits a lot of stuff from older versions, this makes sense to people who have been developing on it from those older versions, but I found many missing bits of information in the documentation that are, I think, assumed knowledge. There are also inconsitencies in **where** some information resides, 1 example is finding a member from one object type and then having to find the login verification in a completely different root service.
That being said you can always post on the forums.
Umbraco does have a huge advantage though: It can be used in visual studio, which means you can manually link your other programs or nuget packages into the system if you need to do anything.
Like I said I am a new user to Umbraco, but I have horse people using the cms for the first website, my secondary website has farmers using it and I developed and got it up in about 3 days with a complex set of pages.
