Compare WordPress vs. Fork CMS

WordPress is not a very modern PHP CMS and does not use Symfony or other components. It is very popular and earns it's position in the listing of Symfony CMSes.

Fork CMS is a new take on PHP CMSes. Built on a contemporary base that is a customised version of the Symfony2 framework, this is a challenger to keep note of.

• Very popular
• Good usability
• Vibrant community

• A fresh start, no legacy baggage
• A clean user interface
• Fully featured for marketing sites

• Shoddy code quality
• Relies on 3rd party plugins a lot
• A weak security trackrecord, partly due to plugins

• Not a 100% standard Symfony Framework app
• Limited adoption
• Public REST APIs not a priority
