NO.  And anyone that says they can is a liar.  TurnOver is good, Aldon is 
good, ADTS leaves something to be desired (but, then again, don't _ALL_ IBM 
products that have a third-party competitor?).  I would further add MKS to 
the "good" list.  Anyone that could possibly have worked with all of those 
products within a reasonable (2 month) time frame to the extent that they 
could detail technical differences in current versions is either A) 
Possessing a photographic memory or B)  LYING.

The choice of a CMS _MUST_ be determined based upon your own requirements.  
It's a personal thing.  All have strengths and weaknesses, and it is up to 
the _BUYER_ to determine which of each they can best live with...
