MODx does a great job as a full featured CMS, but it’s true potential lies in it’s ability as a application framework. I’ll hold my hand up and admit this is the aspect of MODx that I know least about, but developers can effectively create new applications which run within the MODx interface, and use a flexible API and event model which allow for the system to be expanding in any direction.
