I really wanted to use common lisp or mod_perl (mason,embperl or axkit) 
for my big e-commerce site i'm working on, but they cannot afford 
server hosting for the beginning, so I cannot use mod_perl (nor
lisp/zope/jsp), 
only php.

ok, for PHP I found these two best: BS and ariadne
BC has the best layout so far. and a lot of useful admin modules.
and I don't like Ariadne's interface that much. BC already has more modules
and 
a similar structure. 
only that BC is really slow compared to my phpwiki, 
which serves the pages from mysql with a lot of dynamic pcre translations, 
and compared to ariadne which uses a clever caching scheme 
(precalculated object inheritance and stored static pages).

ariadne has a very sexy DHTML htmleditor included (IE only) which might 
be a good seller for getting advanced users attracted, instead of bc's
features 
which certainly gets admins attracted :)

it's only the megs and file io, but i'm already using reiserfs and 
it's still quite slow for my taste.

true. i'm just testing and still evaluating both...
