At Netrist, we favor using SilverStripe CMS because it provides our clients with an easy-to-use interface to update their websites. That said, sometimes it's easier to use a desktop program. One of our clients is a regular blogger (2 to 3 times per week) and sends a newsletter twice per month. He makes updates to the other parts of the site only as needed. For him, we created an interface that let's him use Microsoft's excellent (and free) Windows Live Writer software to post and edit blog entries.
