I think that cushycms isn't a real cms, but a simple content editing system for small projects that don't need the complexity of a real cms. IMHO, it does that very well. Think about a little project of a small company that only wants a business-card-like website with 5 to 10 pages presenting their activities. Well, now think about giving to your customer the possibility to edit their fax number in the contact page or the image of their building with an easy interface without annoying you for doing that. You know, you are busy with other bigger projects so doing that for your customer would be very annoying. Well here comes the power of cushycms and other systems like that (another nice project, www.typeroom.com). What I like of CMS over other similar solutions is that the free version will remain free and the pro upgrade gives you the possibility to rebrand the system. I'm doing some projects with it, maybe I'll upgrade to pro version. I'm italian so maybe I'll try to make some translations for my customers. @Q dub,

It's essentially a nice wrapper around the ugly task of FTP-ing HTML files back and forth. Most sites seem to be running dynamic CMS's these days anyway, so I'm not sure about the addressable market. Does anyone have any thoughts on how often do people still use FTP to edit flat content these days? CushyCMS is really pretty, but I found the features underwhelming when I test-drove it.
