There is much to desire about Magnolia over the alternatives. First I would say is the cost which is relatively lower. In addition, no one can despite the capabilities of Magnolia thanks to the many features.
While Magnolia cost a little bit more, I find it more capable in that it offers more features and functionality wise, it is easy to use and understand thanks to the clean UI.
Magnolia is a good solution where you have a very simple buying and checkout process and don't require the additional flexibility or additional functionality built on top of the framework.
I've used a number of Content Management Systems in the past that have similar features to Magnolia including custom ones that aren't widely used or can be listed, but Drupal is probably the most comparable. I would say that Drupal is more kind to custom code and overall …
