I'm thinking of a site for a startup. I'm thinking that dolphin may be the fastest and will provide the best quality foundation for the site.... offering features that If I built the site from scatch, would be unrealistic. What then, is the downside? Is it not fully customizable? Is is not really scalable. What if it turns out being a good idea and hundreds of thousands or even millions of users join eventually (I know... unrealistic). Is having a dolphin built website at this point a bad thing? Would you have to transfer your site to standard php built from scratch before the site got too popular? Why didn't sites like facebook and twitter (or any popular site you can think of) use dolphin or something like it when they were developing their site? There must be a downside.
Maybe someone has the answers these questions, and it would be great. I've already used drupal to develop a site and have experienced some headaches with the development process. I don't want to make the same mistake with dolphin.
Thanks all.
