to make it short

If you need something that can be setup real fast use nuke

If you need something powerfull and flexible use ez

If nuke exactly fits your needs use nuke otherwise use ez

If it aint broke don't fix it, but if your finding your site isn't growing gracefully and you need to do more things in a custom way, ez is a better way to go.

If you were to migrate your site, you'd probably have a bit of problems as there are really any good tools to load 'legacy' data into ez Publish. You'd have to code this yourself.

IMO Nuke is not really a CMS as it's quite limiting, not only that... the code is written very poorly and there are numerous security holes found for it in the past. (See: http://search.securityfocus.com/swsearch?query=phpnuke&sbm=archive%2F1%2F&submit=Search%21&metaname=alldoc&sort=swishlastmodified)

But indeed, eZ publish is a full featured CMS for the more 'advanced' users, php nuke might fit you well.

This is my POV, but I think phpnuke is or should be defined as "portal CMS" solution where its aim is to provide an easy to use, module extension based ONLINE COMMUNITY. Among opensource based CMSs, I think eZ publish is what we call, CMS (focused on managing contents of your current website, or future website). And I think ezp is more focused on corporate uses compare to other CMS distributions.

Just my 2 cents...

mmm, I don't think you can really compare the two. PHP-nuke is a quick solution for easy sites which can be maintained by different editors, like postnuke, xoops and mambo. I consider eZpublish as a more sophisticated CMS's or application framework, as f.e Zope (plone). If you want something quick (and dirty) take an easy solution, but if you want a more reliable system look further. I might give some headaches in the beginning, but less in the long run (and that's better than the other way around.

Well PHP NUKE and Post-Nuke work exceptionally well on IIS.
ezPublish does NOT EVER work on IIS. So sometimes the decision is simpler.

Work in IIS in not the way to decide. IIS is not open / free and there usually you have to work with no free database systems. Today all the hosting providers offer the apache implementation.

The question is Ez publish is a framework solution, not a mixture of php code to develop a 'closed' system like php-nuke.

If anyone needs to develop a web portal keeping in mind the specific functionalities of php-nuke, using it will have the product in a short time.
The important aspect is consider if the product to delelop will need to evolve in the future (maintenace, interoperative with external systems, reutilization of code etc.) then use ez publish or other more professional CMS than php-nuke.
