I've been using Cuyahoga for almost a year and love it. I needed to find a .NET framework that would help with websites and cms for my clients and I chose this over several of the big ones after much research. The main reasons were: Ease of use. It uses C# and I have been too lazy to learn VB. Creating Modules is pretty straight forward. The architecture is brilliant. But, I have no real experience of the other systems out there such as Umbraco and MojoPortal, and wondered if anyone has and if so, how Cuyahoga stacks up against these? I know it's probably going to be biased but I'm still interested in your comments. Thanks.

Let's make a little (biased) comparison  vs. MojoPortal: conceptually the same. MojoPortal has more features out of the box and is a little bit less elegant and modular (IMHO). vs. Umbraco: Umbraco is clearly a different beast where you can develop almost everything inside Umbraco itself without the need for custom modules. This is because you can maintain custom content types and with a little XSLT, those content types can be displayed very easily without recompiling etc. Feature-wise, I like it, but their code is a mess (probably due to lots of legacy stuff).

Thank you Martijnb, appreciate the reply. I trust you with your comments about the code! I noticed Umbraco used xslt but I still prefer the way Cuyahoga's code works.

Useful comparison.
Martin and the others are genius for this work.
I find Cuyahoga to be the most well thought out and extensible I have used.
Also the lack on complexity is nice because you can see how it works very quickly once you debug it.
The new 2.0 version has the Content base type. This is again genius stuff that nothing else i have seen has.
if your doing it hard your probably doing it the wrong way....
