With intuitive handling for users’ convenient and robust APIs for developers’ ease, CMS can be easily customized as and when desired. The truckloads of options for plugins/extensions/modules, themes, templates, etc., add to their repository and offer an overwhelming list of options to the users. Despite of the fact that it offers brilliant features, which helps create a superlative mobile presence, its core functionality is primarily web based and can be managed through a browser only.

These apps are only good for making small instant updates, while for writing blogs, edit them and polish them to make them appear as best as possible, CMS is the viable choice.

But, one thing is for sure that it is alive and making good strives for its existence.
