Other CMS's have harder to use module systems, doesn't stop 2 or 3 versions of modules with the same functionality being released does it? People can easily try a few different news modules...

Modules are not only made by core developers, so its not always their project. Also stripping modules away from default installs would make it only cleaner and smaller which makes it easier to understand for new people. But I can see your point though, but allot modules and tags are made by people who need a custom module and make one and release it, and never look back becuase they had what they needed, so its hard for developers too pay allot attention to that much modules, and keep them all updated and compatible Pishkus, this is not really what my post is about, the post is about whether modules and functions should be shipped with cmsms or without, when downloaded for a clean install.

Let's think what other systems have, that CMS does not? CMS is very simple and intuitive. The number of tabs and other stuff is minimal. Why ask developers do extra work on some top-super-loveable-ass_kicking-hard_rocking but yet useless stuff? Why not pay more attention to other modules like Calendar, FAQ, News and many many other modules/tags that are present in the repository but are useless to the current release?? I still remember the simplicity of 0.7x about 2 years ago. From then the navigation has only gotten more complex. Not for me (I live with CMSMS), but for the users, who enter the web using the blue E icon. Maybe I'll get some disillusions with the 2.0 of CMSMS, but I'm still hoping to be able to simply install CMSMS and not to have to do all the dirty work configuring FAQ, Calendar and stuff... Anyways, good luck for the developers and their benevolent dictator. We love you guys! Well, I don’t quite agree with the author. Let’s think what other systems have, that CMS does not?

I would add that it would be nice to have a simple "Update" system to automatically updates modules. I agree.
