Regarding the web and mostly for large scale projects, what cms platform or even mvc like framework would you prefer to use or work with and why?

No.

Seriously speaking though, fuck CMS’. For large scale web projects we use either vanilla PHP (no bloody frameworks, they only stand in your way) or in some cases these days Blazor. More likely though is that the frontend uses what the frontend devs like to use (i.e. Vue by default, which is MVVM), and the backend gets done in C# cause that’s the common language here.

Probably umbraco

@100110111 Personally I agree not to use cms.

But most people I know use at least laravel or symphony for php.

Do you have the luxury to code the whole core backend with raw c#, php, java or whatever language you use?

@EddieBro I don't get that opinion. If you want customers to be able to manage their own website content they need a CMS. A customer could be internal to your business. If you have 100 customers and no CMS you will be editing content, not developing. A CMS solves a specific problem...

@EddieBro yes.

Of course, for a use case like @Crost said, a CMS is a must. We only offer SaaS products, so fortunately CMS is not something useful for us.

Laravel framework.
sorry Laravel haters....you know deep down it makes sense.

@Crost Usually the customer only needs to edit a minimal subset of the content, and for larger enterprise solutions the customer would generally want to sync all (relevant) content with internal information systems anyway. Using a CMS is absolutely unnecessary when you can just add a few basic forms without introducing a bloaty mess with countless known vulnerabilities and maintenance issues.

Vue js though Vue cli
+ Django with DRF
Both are full of boilerplate code that solves 98% of my problems out of the box
Full battery included (or rail roaded) approach in both cases.

@Crost you are right about cms. Though I cannot recommend myself a ready cms platform for large scale projects. The popular ones are limited or can mess with either the developer or the project itself If the client or your company decides to use themes with built-in modules etc.
