The honest answer is "it depends". Do you need the multi-user goodies
of Refinery, providing you a full suite of editing and publishing controls? Do
you need to manipulate a site "tree" and place content in a hierarchy?
If your needs are simple, you might be best served by writing something
yourself. It will be just enough to do what you need, and you''ll know
where the bodies are buried. But if an honest assessment of your needs turns up
some of the things that an existing solution does well, you may as well just use
it and learn what it can do. You may end up adding features -- for free -- that
you didn''t know you needed.
